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!

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 

[Jmac]

Dead money and cap issues never seem to stop them. Still sign players, pull money out their arz.

 

By the way...Winston sucks too.

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.
