Saints still in bad shape capwise

The issue isn't just the Bree's contract but all the big contracts they gave out to all the free agents they have signed since Bree's has been there. Unlike us they have not historically built through the draft and have made yearly splashes in free agency like they are still doing this year.To all those Huddlers jealous of the Saints in free agency over the last 5 years, those free spending ways have finally come back to bite them in the butt.

And they only have a Super Bowl and 5 playoff appearances to show for it. Idiots!

They got their Super Bowl trophy before Brees signed his mega-contract.

But not before they started signing high profile free agents, considering he was one.

Saints- 1 Lombardi

Panthers- 0

We have work to do

48 years and 1 tainted, dirty title. Whoopie. We're gonna have more titles in half the time.

So do you think we should be following their formula.? Play dirty, break the rules, cheap shot teams to get in the Super Bowl like they did to Green Bay and win at all costs?

When I was young and foolish I used to think the same thing. As I get older and wiser I realize that selling your soul to win is a bad formula in the long run although it can look great for a while.

Yet our pathetic franchise still owns them all time head to head, even in their house all time, castrated them in our last meeting, and have more division titles, including the last two.

I still think that they are trying to work with Tennessee to try and get tha Mariota pick for Brees.

[chknwing]

they have a poo ton of draft picks now, 5 in the first 78 picks.  They can fix their future cap by having a number of players on rookie contracts.

I hadn't heard that at all. New Orleans would riot...again. That would be some awesome drama...the trade not the rioting. Rioting is bad...mmmmkay?

lol if the saints are in "win now mode" why did they trade one of the most potent receiving threats in the NFL to the 2 time repeating NFC champions who have historically owned the saints AND who filled a huge need with the trade
