It's more like you sharing in mine. Neither Ridley, D.J. Moore have been consistent enough to help my team but for a week or two. Jerry Jeudy simply sucks. I also lost Nick Chubb, and Joe Burrow has been highly inconsistent himself. At this point I'm just throwing poo against the wall to see if it sticks.

Oof. It's been a rough season for fantasy. I've got Nacua and A.J. Brown to fall back on at least. I had Burrow but got fed up and dropped him a few weeks ago. My team is floundering anyways. Have fun!

the chickens are coming home to roost Bobby Boucher.

(Saints are fuccked)

I'll believe it when it finally actually happens. Ever year for seemingly forever I've heard that the Saints' cap situation is fuged then watch as they sign big money FAs and part with no one of note.

Here’s Cam Jordan’s contract. They’ve started to restructure contracts using void years. I’m sure they’ll restructure him again. 

Carr is a prime candidate for a serious restructuring that should greatly improve their cap space 

Again, this sh!t isn’t hard. However it’s the void years that suck. We’re already using them which is pathetic because we suck. A team like the Saints it made sense because they believed they had a window. They clearly also believed signing Carr is keeping that window open. There will be a time when they’re eating a lot of dead cap but I’m sure they’ll be properly rebuilding. Unlike us where we consistently “retool” to suck more while damaging future cap space. Fitterer and Samir really made a mess with next years cap this last offseason

But isn’t the issue the saints run into us at some point these contracts are gonna be on the books for players who have not been on the team for 2 to 3 years. Demario Davis, Cam Jordan, Carr Etc etc are exactly spring chickens

Yes that’s what void years are. The Saints have 10 mill in dead money next year due to one of a few void years in Winston’s deal 

We have 7 mill in dead money due to Chark and Houston’s void years

if the “kIcK tHe CaN” philosophy buys you the kind of prolonged window the saints have had then by all means sign me up 

No offense but I don’t get how anyone is still making chicken analogies at this point 

Problem I think people are seeing is that at some point the Saints team needs a reset and when it’s NEEDED, how much of a hinderance will it be. I guess we’ll see when/if it gets to that point.

yeah sure they’ll probably be bad for a few seasons. It happens. They’ve been one of the league’s most talented teams for a while, and it’s been because they’ve haven’t chained themselves to the salary cap, and they’ve had a lot of success to show for it. 
 

even if it gets to the point, and I’m not really sure exactly what people are expecting but it appears to be some fantastical dream amongst panthers fans that the league will step in, demand they start paying respect to the cap, and then they have to cut a bunch of guys and are now a bad team-EVEN IF IT GETS to that very unlikely point-who cares? Look at the window they’ve bought themselves.

Don’t get me wrong I completely agree and wish we had the window that they did. I think my biggest question is why are they doing it with this team? I’m of the opinion that the Saints  have been on the downtrend it should have blown it up earlier and embrace the few years of suck but I get trying to make it work keeping your job as a coach and the front office person.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
