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.

      I appreciate the honesty in your posts--I am not sure Canales is rusing(?) because I don't think we are good enough yet to draft players for depth on day 1.  I do think we are in limbo, fwiw.  At 19, I think you are drafting second rounders in the first.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By strato · Posted

      We are in a unique situation here. Just my opinion. Three things: Moton’s playing health has been gradually declining as he is aging, while his contract is a drag on the payroll.  Something will give with him sooner than later but I think 2026 could be it.  So.. need a right tackle by 2027. At the latest.    Icky’s individual situation is unique as well. They would have had an extension done by now if not for the injury. We only have him for this year. With no assurance he will ever be the same player.  It would be reckless just to assume. Now we have Walker for one year. And that is a major relief. Maybe he is the answer, but the team that knows him best let him go and it was cheap for us to sign him. So how much did they value him?    We look to be needing two tackles by 2027.  And have poo for depth this year as well. So anyway we could draft a guy for 2027 RT and groom him this year, and see how Icky does, and act as needed in 2027. Spread out filling the two holes over 2 years.    Then I remember, hey if Bryce doesn’t get a Lot more consistent do they extend him? Hoping not, if he isn’t really good.    So then we are looking at the 2027 draft which people say is gonna be loaded with QBs. If we need a LT and a QB what is the pick gonna get spent on?   Taking into account the recovery success rates cited here on the Icky surgery, you might want to plan for him to not be the same player. rather than assume he will be and get caught with your pants down.  It is a tough situation.    And factor in that it is critically important to protect this QB, always, but especially this year where it is said to be make or break. And how you might feel about that.    All of it points to a real possibility that these things converge in the negative, like Bruce sucks and Icky is not the same. In that case if you want to be assured of getting LT secured, the only place you can do that through the draft could be very well be 2026 1st round.     For me, I would like to err on the side of caution.  Cover for these outcomes. It wouldn’t be fun. Added benefit is if we do have a tackle go down this year we will have a guy there. Because I don’t know what we have now.

      Mike Kaye: “I would keep a pretty close eye on {KC Concepcion}.”

      I agree. In a perfect world I wouldn’t want to draft another WR, but in this draft it’s fine based on the value of who will be there at #19.  All of the top tier guys worth pick #19 at other positions of need will be long gone. Only exception is Dillon Thieneman, but he’s almost a shoe in for the Vikings as the Harrison Smith replacement. Some posters on here want to draft an OT just to check a box without realizing the concerns and risk that comes along with said player. Sounds like XL to me… desperately drafting need… KC is a pretty safe player.  Produced all 3 years in college and last year in the SEC vs a lot of top corners in this years draft. He single handily dropped the South Carolina CB Brandon Cisse’s draft stock with how bad he abused him.   Sometimes it’s best to try and hit a double instead of going for the home run. This draft screams “go for the double”. Esp in the first.
