I don't know how, but the Saints are trying to sign Clowney

This came up on the Around the NFL podcasts this week. Rosenthal says the Saints are looking like 80mil over for next season and that's before they do any deal with Kamara. They're hosed, capwise.

The thing is I've heard they are hosed for 10 years straight and it never seems to happen.

If the cap retracts, I am not sure all their fancy book work will function. 

Then again, Belicheat is allowed to cheat his way to success every single season without any real punishment so maybe the NFL has just decided the salary cap only applies to 31 teams.

The saints are banking on the new CBA negotiations saving their ass. They’ve been gaming the system in hopes of a reset come next season. If it doesn’t live up to their hopes they’ll be hosed, theoretically. I frankly don’t know how they made it to this season.

CBA has already been ratified. The only thing that might be up for negotiation is the cap retraction due to coronAIDS.

They are either absolutely fuged or the cap isn't real. Those are the two only scenarios I see.

They also know the NFL wouldn’t dare to risk loosing one of their precious teams during the season. So they would only really be looking at draft & monitory penalties unless the league absolutely gutted their roster for them.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
