I think the Saints might be playing the long game right now and are close to already punting on next season.

Hire a questionable choice for HC, cut Carr and a few other big contracts to eat the cap hits this year and start trying to get them back on track with their years of pushing cap hits into the future.

Completely suck next year because of it all, get the #1 pick and bring franchise favorite Archie's grandson into town as the #1 pick, which also should make them the most attractive HC destination next year for whoever the hot name is.

They could have kept their questionable coach in that situation

For those who have Twitter access blocked when viewing on a work network, what's the gist of the twitter posts?

Here's what I see on my cell phone:

1. Conversations with Mike McCarthy and the Saints didn't go well.  No one was "enamored" with him.

2. Kliff Kingsbury decided to stay with the Commanders instead of trying to jump into a dumpster fire like the Saints.

I think this is possible.  Except I would build the OL and WR room.  I would play Rattler next season.  I would have to offense ready to go for a rookie QB.   Defensively, I would cut big contracts. If this is what I was planning to do, that is.

Kingsbury may fancy himself as the next Ben Johnson. Not so sure about that.

    • Hall is a huge upgrade from Drury
    • Explains a lot of what appears to be going on during Cam's stint on the Special Forces show: during a team activity, Cam purposefully performs an action towards a fellow teammate (also a former NFL player) that could be taken as inappropriate or even dangerous by the Staff if they had seen it was done purposefully. Afterwards, Cam said "that was for all the times your team beat Carolina". Implies that in a team activity, Cam is still thinking about himself during an individual activity, Cam doesn't do the required exercises when not being observed directly by the Staff. Implies that cutting corners or directions given to the team could be ignored for personal benefit (it wasn't - resulted in a team punishment) There's lots of positives of Cam during the show, too. So this definitely shouldn't be considered a knock on him. That stuff looked tough for everyone involved - kudos for all of them for even saying "yes" in the first place, 'cause everyone looked miserable. Except Carey Hart (aka Mr P!nk). He looked like he was having a blast throughout the whole thing But taking specific examples out of context of what those celebs were put through -- one could draw comparisons to SB50 (or even expand into why we lost that final game in Atlanta to miss a "perfect season") to that comment about MVP being more valuable to Cam than the team win would have been
    • I do not think I said there would be 8 OTs taken--but there will be 11 teams picking in the first round that have OT as a prioritized need.  I think there are 3 OTs with solid first round grades and maybe 4 are taken.  My point was supply and demand, in relation to your point that you need a reason to move up in the draft.  There will not be many if any starting-caliber OTs in free agency, and if there is one, he will be $25m or more.  Some of these teams that need an OT have no cap room; they HAVE to find an OT to protect their QB and maximize his efficiency. Daniels, Mahommes, Jackson all need OTs.  My point was--if they want a T, and free agency is not an option due to cap restrictions, they HAVE to find a starting T in the draft.  If the Jets take one at #7, the have to know teams will start calling.  The Bears, for example, at #10 need an OT badly for their QB.  But if I implied that 8 OTs would be taken, it is not what I meant.  8 teams will be pushing to move up, however.
