I guess they think they can get guys to play for them for free because like everyone is saying not a lot of cap room and then there is the draft.  Yeah, they can get all there players from the draft.  But they have 2 picks in the first 5 rounds.  Thanks to all the trading for Bridgewater and to move up last year they have a 2nd and a 5th.  Then they have some 6 and 7 round picks which with the way they are going are going to need to be starters day 1.  I don't see how they could do it but I am not a GM.

I guess they could trade their 2nd for AB, and renogiate with about 10 guys to make it work, but would not leave them anything for FA.

And this is exactly why we should trade for Antonio Brown!

 

You never know who might be trying to acquire him, they could be our rivals in the division Saints/Falcons/Bucs. Everybody in the division has a elite WR except us.

*My goodness if Brees ends up with AB it is over for the NFC.

If you want someone bad enough, you can make it work. The salary cap is not some impenetrable fortress 

Exactly!

Saints have been after big name players for years. They are committed to winning every year despite being cash strapped.

 

Anybody who says we don't need the best WR in football is crazy!

Restructuring of contracts and releasing of players missing a step not playing like they used to can free up extra cap monies.

You can also back load contracts. They brought up last season with the rams aggressive owners can manipulate the cap

  ABs current deal is an asset if thinking about acquiring him. 3/36 with no guaranteed money for a top 5 WR is a steal. But then reality sets in. 

 First, forget that contract. He has already stated he wants more guaranteed money from a new team. 

 I would love to see the Saints do this. It would be great until the first game that Thomas has more targets than AB, the meltdown will proceed. He works his ass off, no doubt. But he’s worried about one thing.....TARGETS!!! And it won’t take long for his teammates to figure this out. The Steelers aren’t cutting bait with him over his play.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
