Welcome to the NFL, where everything's made up and the money doesn't matter

Right. How do you go from $84 million over the cap to $30 million under the cap and there not be serious future ramifications? Moves like that should completely ruin your future. Just do not get it.

I think it's less about that and more about we are a disaster of a team right now. The Lions and Browns have more of their poo together than us. 

The lions no. The browns sure. But he turned them down as well. At minimum because of the cold weather and at ‘maximum’ because it’s Cleveland.

look at the teams he’s gravitated to. South Beach. Mardi Gras city. The ATL. 
 

hes turned down some pretty great opportunities from hum drum cities like Pittsburgh in the process.

They will just continue to do the same thing, year after year after year.  The bill will eventually come due in like 2055 or some poo. We will all likely have been wiped out by then in the Great Lithium/Cobalt Wars of the 2030's lol.

The sad thing is I don't think players really look at it like we do. They just see," Oh, it's the Saints!!! WhoDat!!! They won a superbowl! Look at Michael Thomas and Kamara!!!!"" If I want to win I need to chose a winner." While, in reality, they won the superbowl in 2009 (13 years ago), Payton retired, Michael Thomas hasn't really played in 2 years and isn't as good, and Kamara will probably be suspended. All of that PLUS how can they possibly sign Armsted, Fuller, and take on Watson's contract? What about next year's cap? What about all the picks they just gave up? How can the Saints possibly be a good destination in their current state? I just don't see it. But, Watson will probably chose them because, Oh look we are Saints!!! Screw them Saints!!!!!!!!!!

They are already feeling it a little this year, not being able to re-sign Armstead (at least yet) and Williams.  Their depth behind Thomas is not very good and their dead cap figure continues to trend up.

    • Dang, we might not be able to create the same magic from last year!
    • If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade. 
    • Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.
