The Saints are still $55M over the cap after multiple moves

What if they take it on the chin this season and then end up with a Howell or Rattler next year? Ya know, what we should've done last year.

That won't happen with Brees...when he comes back! Honestly, it probably wouldn't happen with Winston either (provided he's being whispered to).

Edit: What I'm saying is that they won't be bad enough. There will be teams that are worse and less likely to trade out of their prime real estate

That's what people have been saying about the Saints forever and somehow they always figure it out anyway. I'm to the point of just admitting that they're a helluva lot better at cap management than we've been.

They don't really have much to show for it though. 1 SB win (that was gifted to them after katrina) with an all time great QB and above average HC... They were mediocre until that historic 2017 draft saved their asses and even still they haven't been back to the SB since then.

Yeah, but they've competed most every year. That's all you can really hope to do. Just compete. You gotta catch some breaks to win it all. Like having the Chiefs forced to play without an OL.

Anyone else think the Cap is the Snufflufagus of the NFL? It only exists if you believe it does.

And yet all they have to show for it is Super Bowl Katrina.
