I dont think anyone is saying the Saitns have special rules that only benefit them.

But its clear if any team can bypass the salary cap easily, then its a joke.

  And as a Saints fan plainly stated, if you constantly find yourself doing that, you better hit in the draft or you wind up 7-9 for 3 straight years. 

  They also are operating in a tight window. They are playing for this year. And next. When Brees retires, they can eat the dead money in a rebuilding year. We have to worry about the next decade with Cam. 

  Everyone can do it. Doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.  Not a myth. No bypass. You will account for everything you pay out. Like anything else, mismanagement has consequences.

Browns offered him as well. He said repeatedly he was waiting for the right opportunity. I believe he also seeked treatment for anxiety and panic attacks.

Pretty convinced you guys could sign a turd and you would find some way to twist it into being a "great signing"

You all do realise that Dez was bad because Dak is awful? This is a great pickup for the Saints. The best team in the league just got better. 

If this were true he wouldn't have been available midseason. Now that means 31 teams did not see the value in a 30 year old receiver who runs bad routes, has questionable hands and has lost a step (when he wasn't a burner to begin with)

He had teams trying to get him. He waited for the right opportunity. 

No rational person thinks he will go to the Saints and light it up, they already have 2 elite offensive talents in Kamara and Thomas. But, it is also irrational to think he couldn't go and help contribute. The Saints were very thing at WR. Outside of Thomas, no WR has more than 12 receptions. Trequan Smith looks solid for a rookie, but he is still a rookie. A major reason for the drop off in production from Dez is due to Dak Prescott being awful. He now has the best QB he's ever had, and the best coach he's ever had, on a winning team. He can be a plus and add another dimension to what is already the best offense in the league.

Dez Bryant was hillariously overrated in his prime... what dimension is that by the way questionable possession reciever?

He didn't "wait for the right opportunity" he grossly overrated his value when only the Ravens and Browns show interest at veteran minimum you are #trash.

When his contract is released I bet you its vet minimum.

LOL, Bradberry shut down Mike Evans who is a much better receiver than Dez at this point.  I have zero concerns about making sure he does nothing against us.  I actually hope it does fug up their chemistry.  

Didn’t Bradberry get beat like a drum by Alshon

 

Dez put up what? 800 yards last year with a QB who refuses to throw down field. They definitely got better, Ben Watson whose a fossil is still producing in that offense. You have to be a true delusional fanboy to think Dez won’t help them out.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
