The Kalil contract is finally gone

But the cmac one is on deck

[Mr. Scot]

Lord have mercy, the Eagles.

From the Super Bowl to disaster in just a few short years...

[Moo Daeng]

Brink of disaster super drama we're all going to die!

 

[GoobyPls]

Saints have been in cap hell for a decade, the cap as excuse for cheap front offices 

[Mr. Scot]

On the flipside, the Colts.

Makes me sigh a little that we couldn't get Ed Dodds.

Should've cleaned the books this year, "tanked" our way to 2-3 wins, and we'd be in prime position of the rebuild.

 

Instead, we sign Teddy in a pointless year only to keep striving for mediocrity and are on the disaster line.  Good call, Panthers! 

*Edit - Before the "winning culture" gets stated, Rhule has always sucked in year 1 and then started the winning culture trajectory.  Our 5 wins aren't necessarily a good sign if we continue to be stuck in "missed opportunity" culture.

We kinda did, but the Bridgewater contract and a few others were a bit counterproductive.

I still have to wonder if Marty didn't convince them to try to make these move and win more this year to save his job.

Pretty sure Roaring Riot would say yes to that, based on comments he's made.

I would have preferred to take our lumps with what was left of the roster after the purge.  Just filled out the roster with udfa's and made Newton play out his contract, even if he sat out I would have went with Grier and let the chips fall where the may.

Other than that it went about as well as Hurney could pull out of his ass, as usual.

Exactly though, we half-assed it.  Half-assing a rebuild just leaves you little to no wiggle room for error over the next couple of years.

This is not counting for the players that will be released in Short, Weatherly, and a few others that will give us some cap room. Once that happens, well. It won't be bordering on disaster. It'll be a tad bit better. 

Also it’s just for next season, one which we are obviously not expected to contend in anyways. It looks a lot better from ‘22 onward (for now anyways). Cap really isn’t a big issue for this team, it was just going to take some time to shed all the bad contracts left over from the previous regime.

To me, this was 1,000% it.  Only other option was Teddy is signed to convince Brady to come & install the offense "ahead of schedule" as opposed to waiting on our future QB to do so. 

The other option is the staff truly thought Teddy is a franchise QB.  When dozens of random Huddlers could see that he wasn't the minute he was signed, doesn't speak too highly of the coaching staff's scouting and scares the poo out of me for whatever QB we draft this year.

Brady was already here. We hired Joe Brady in January. Teddy didn't sign until March.
