[Khyber53]

The 'Aints write contracts like it wasn't their checkbook. Someday all those big contracts will come due.

When Brees leaves it's all good.  Taysom Hill got it covered. 

He is the second best QB in the division.

You'd think people on here would learn by now that the cap is a joke

Just thank ALL the football gods Mahomes is a Chief. Many different accounts had Saints picking Mahomes at 11, chiefs traded up to 10 to pick him. Image the next 15 years playing against that .......

Blah. I was hoping he was going to hold out of camp & cause more drama. Oh well. Good for him...NOT!

In other news, I am 99.9% sure the Aints are going to be this season's team for All or Nothing. Think about it; lost in '17 b/c of Minnesota Miracle, lost in '18 b/c of a shitty ref. 

They didn't lose because of a bad call. They had a 3 point lead after the bad call, then got the ball first in OT.

Should have been running the ball there, burn up clock kick a last second FG to win.

Didn’t lose because of the bad call is correct. 

However, they did not win because of the bad call. Games over if it’s made.

Or you could just admit that the worst no call in NFL history cost them a trip to the SB? Did the game go on after? Sure. If it’s made do the Saints take 3 knees and kick a FG as time expires? Yes. 

It’s ok to admit they were fugged. Doesn’t make you any less of a fan.

What no call?  There wasn’t any pass interference there.

Ya'll still crying about that call?

The Panthers have lost two Super Bowls, you cock suckers have a Lombardi. Man tf up.

I wouldn’t call it crying. Just pointing out the obvious.

From what I gather looking at spotrac/overthecap.

Saints had 37-45m next year in cap space *before* the Thomas contract.  That is without the following starters/positions under contract:

Brees (QB1)

Bridgewater (QB2)

Peat (G)

AJ Klein (SLB)

Eli Apple (CB)

Vonn Bell (SS)

Onyemata (DT)

 

Not saying all of those players are great.  But that is a lot of quality slots to have to replace on a budget when you've been trading away picks for "win now with brees" mode.

I am sure we will hear that they restructured some guy making 800k a year, for 2 years, and that some how opened up 10 million in cap space, though.

Yeah our homer perception sure makes it seems like other teams have unlimited cap space. I swear it seems like year after year the Saints always are able to sign whomever they want for however much.

Thomas is a bigger Jarvis Landry playing in a great offensive system
