I’m going to always keep a pair of binoculars on me so I can whip them out when this type of behavior occurs

What in the actual frick?? How does this happen

Guessing the usual suspects without opening the link…

Saints currently sitting at $65.8M. Taysom has $13.7M in voided contract waiting to hit that dead money, Cam has $18.8M, and Demario has $14.3M

It’s why I keep saying we don’t have all this cap space like some people on here believe. We need at least another year of not signing anyone and playing rookies.

The Jets are only first b/c they traded Gardner and Williams and cut Lazard. All big money deals. Guess all that guaranteed money accelerated. If not for that we’d easily be first.

Only smart compared to you. The Saints will have no trouble paying FA this offseason - most of the cash in any deal will hit in later years when our cap is clean.

---

So the same exact process Loomis has been using for years that got us into this mess? Yea that’s very smart…

Other teams have 80-100 million in cap room and we sitting at 8 with the 2nd highest in dead money on the cap only b/c the jets traded off their stars. But we in great shape.

So, you were the "one that pointed it out", because I am sure no other poster noticed it or referenced it until you "pointed it out"; and you are still confident in this earlier post about Pickens leaving from you?

---

We’d have to sign a free agent close to the same amount for what Pickens signs for to lose the comp pick. Unless we sign more than we lost like what happened with Dalton. I’m guessing Loomis learned the hard way when he found out we weren’t getting that 3rd with his blunder.

That’s why maybe Yiadom didn’t see much playing time this year. If he started so many games it goes against the formula.

It’s a stretch, but I’m hoping Loomis learned his lesson but I could be wrong.

Titans being 26 is laughable.

Maybe the run blocking grades high. Thinking our run and pass blocking rates pretty low.

you would’ve murdered Loomis yourself if we had made that trade simply because you hate everything the team does regardless of if it’s the right move

---

Ok, if you say so. This is what I said back in August.

We didn’t give up much more and could have had Pickens. He’s a head case but has #1 receiver talent. And he’s only 24. Olave, Pickens, and Shaheed would be a nice young well rounded receiver corps. Cowboys should be better so their pick won’t be much higher than our 4th.

You forgot to say we should’ve drafted some jabroni DE with two sacks

When he becomes a player in the next few years, I’ll be sure to bump this.

Look at the Chiefs

Chiefs also went to how many super bowls lately? And have numerous hall of fame players on that roster. I can see them being in cap hell. There’s a reason.

Saints had zero players make any top 100 lists in the offseason. We in cap hell with zero top tier elite players.

Right? Complain about not having cap but be pissed we didn't go get a guy that was going to cost mega cap. xD

---

Kinda a catch 22. He royally screwed up our cap giving out horrible contracts and extensions for years. So we have no cap room to make trades or re-sign better talent. So I guess you are right when there’s no point in trading for someone like Pickens b/c we’d have no hope in re-signing him, even though he’s top 5 at his position this year and exactly what we need.

Instead he has to make deals like basically trading the better player in Shaheed for Vele just due to cap costs, even though it’s obvious the talent differential in the players.
