Emmanuel Sanders to Saints

Every NFC South team loading up for a fight at the championship (except one.) Going to be interesting to see who will succeed. Sanders gives Brees another target besides Thomas. We will get to watch them kick our asses all season...if there is a season.

Does anyone know how long a team can go over the cap limit or at least when they have to be compliant?  Unless the Saints are releasing some folks or got some re-worked contracts pending, I'm fairly certain they went over the cap limit with the Sanders deal.  They were close to the limit before that.

Edit: The only other way that could have pulled off that feat was to seriously back-load the Peat and Sanders deals to where they both are making peanuts in year 1.

Another couple of moves are in the pipe, don't you fret. We still need space to sign our draft class.

So signing a WR that is on the back end of career to a 8 million a year contract is good? Especially when they're having have to restructure to free up the funds.

The Saints have been in "win now" mode for about 3-4 years now. This is probably Brees last year, so they may as well move all their chips into the pot. 

Sure, it will likely come with a precipitous fall in the next 3-4 years as they enter "real" cap hell but I would make the same sacrifice too if I knew my legitimate window for a Super Bowl was just basically next season.

Remember, MOST free agents under-perform their contracts.  The name brands most always do.  Every year, people get all bent out of shape over free agency.  We are doing exactly what I thought we'd do in free agency.  I like our approach--high upside, low risk.  No--not all are going to become superstars.  Role players is what you seek in free agency unless your franchise is in "win now at all costs" mode.  This crowd bitches that we do not take the bait in free agency.  While this may fill a need (NO lost a few WRs from last year) it is what it is.

We are just basically accumulating rental players. All short term contracts.

Saints won't make the playoffs this year.  Competitive NFC and even more competitive NFC South.  and Drew's accuracy over 20 yds is crap all last season and is only going to get worse.  Their transition to Taysom officially begins this season.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
