Wtf is fitt doing?

The same thing everyone else is doing. Signing short term deals for replaceable players and extending the guys who aren’t. The Saints manipulated their cap by almost $100mil and could have signed the most expensive QB in the league.

How are we getting 10-15 more players? We’ve got 1 pick before pick 137 this year. How many contributors do you think we’ll get this year? You know why so many of the 11 picks we had this year made the team? We were devoid of talent and depth. Sure, we could add 20 UDFAs, cut Shaq and Anderson and be absolutely fine cap wise.

No one in here is saying we can’t manage the cap but it’s delusional to think we’ll have a team to compete if we cut Shaq and add an UDFA.

We better hope our drafts starting knocking it out of the park. That’s the only way we can right this ship. We don’t have enough extra cap to really enhance this roster through FA with a bunch of 1 year deals. We aren’t the Rams or NO with Brees. We are a level or two below that. 

On the flip side, Thompson wasn't contributing until this new coaching staff came in.

What we don't spend this year rolls over to next year, no?

Once you factor in the draft pool and money set aside for the season, it's only about 9 or 10 million really available, and that number only counts the top 51.

We won't have anywhere near as much by years end.

Are you just ignoring all of the suggested moves in this thread that could save 10s of millions in cap space?

Fitt, Rhule and Tepper don't understand how things fell apart, can't understand they are making it worse and can only dig the hole deeper as they flail about trying to make whatever it is they are doing work.

We can get rid of two of the guys at any time and restart. We can't, however, get rid of that horse's ass that bought the team.

A lot of folks have been like "Fitt's the man, he'll get this straightened out, he's not worse than Marty was." Guess what? He's not made things better, he's gotten us into cap space hell even faster than Hurney did and has no idea what he is doing.

And Dan Morgan? Sheesh, the guy was just the fourth best middle linebacker that ever played for the team, but I don't know where everyone thinks he's going to be the guy to save the franchise behind the scenes. 

What a frikkin' train wreck.

I think you may be a little extreme in your analysis. Fitterer had an excellent draft last year and got good players despite trading back for more picks. His free agent pickups last year were hit and miss with no real disasters other than Darnold.  I also think with no evidence to prove it that Rhule was the man last year personnel wise and Fitterer did whatever Rhule wanted. Then Fitterer brings in Morgan for his pro scouting ability to help with free agency and we got solid additions and starters this year. Fitterer is a first time GM and is learning on the fly. But he has good football sense and came from a successful program.

Some of y'all aren't very good at even having an opinion. Either that, or some of y'all just like being angry at everything all the time? I don't get why do we as society have to find outrage in everything.

I bet it is the same people that said we would have no cap this offseason. Maybe some people just enjoy being wrong all the time? Idk. I don't get it.

I agree and I don’t even care about cap space anymore look at Saints. If u want to do something the team will make it happen

Yeah, seriously, if we did nothing then people would have whined, cried, and bitched that "We did nothing this offseason to improve. Wtf is are they doing. Fire (insert name)" and now that we actually do something in FA........ people are still bitching and complaining.

      How short a leash will Young be on?

      So we can expect six QBs taken in the top 12 from here on out each draft?  Wanna wager that won't happen next year?

      Excellent.  I think BC is also the emergency 3rd string swing T, but maybe he needs to focus on C considering Corbett could be gone by 2025. The only people I have seen concerned about center are the experts and fans--they seem to be content here, but they did sign a C in UDFA.  I think they view Corbett as a seasoned veteran who has the ability to function as a C.  In fact, his college coach felt that is where he'd play in the NFL...I dunno.  I think Willie Drew (UDFA) could surprise you and take a CB spot.  Probably has a 30% chance.  Jamison almost made the Niner's roster in 2022, and he was decent here.  He is only 24-25 years old, so with Drew, we have depth.  Jamison should compete with Hill for the Nickel duties, and maybe Drew could play behind Horn and Smith-Wade to be the big nickel.  With the way nickel is used, we could carry 6 CBs.  Dane will start across from Horn and Hill as the nickel.  His spot is not secured.  I wonder if we keep Jammie Robinson on the roster--but you went with probabilities here, as you should.   Thurman (DT) played surprisingly well last season and he should stay a backup.  Tuttle may need to be moved to DE-I don't know.  I use PFF not because it is an exact science--it is somewhat subjective and misleading at times--but it is the most accurate attempt to evaluate performance available to us.  I think Ray is 26, so he should be performing at a higher level--he is basically in the bottom third, along with Shy Tuttle.  At OLB, Barno outperformed DJ Johnson but got fewer snaps.  Both should be safe this year, behind Wonnum and Clowney.  Leota played in 8 games and was on nearly half of the special teams plays, but he got snaps at Edge as well, earning an impressive rating in limited play.  He may be back on the PS at the beginning of the season, but he held the edge better than anyone else, imo.  I have no idea what to think about Chaisson, but after 3 seasons, it is time to perform at a high level or get out of football.  If he performs, the former first rounder COULD team with Wonnum, Barno, Johnson, and Leota to be a decent edge group.   2023 PFF Grades - Defense POS Player Grade POS Rank Snaps % Snaps DI Derrick Brown 90.1 4th of 130 940 89% DI Nick Thurman 63.4 48th of 130 367 35% DI LaBryan Ray 54.6 84th of 130 355 34% DI Shy Tuttle 52.9 91st of 130 549 52% Edge Amari Barno 64.0 NA 188 20% Edge Eku Leota 65.6 NA 77 15%             Edge DJ Johnson 50.4 NA 231 22%                         CB Dane Jackson 64.5 NA xxx 50% CB Jaycee Horn 84.1 NA 276 26%             CB Troy Hill 62.4 73rd of 127 494 47%             S Xavier Woods 80.3 12th of 95 796 75%             S Sam Franklin 58.0 NA 289 27%

      Coach killer. If Bryce at least showed drive, a temper your friends were afraid of… someone may take a flier on him.  If it’s last year’s Bryce part 2, then arena league it is.
