Next two years, strike while the irons hot

Saints are going to have to dump alot of the high priced players, cap hell is here for them. Even they can't fix this by kicking the can down the road anymore. Carr is mediocre at best, they are stuck with him.

Mayfield is mediocre also. May be playing okay now, but the chickens will come home to roost. They still have a good defense and some players on offense. But nothing spectacular.

Falcons have Ridder and he is below mediocre. They have added some good players on both defense and offense. They are probably the to team to deal with  (once they find a QB) in the near future.

Panthers need to get their sh*t straightened out this season (and off season). Find an identity and build on  it. No more stupid trades and contracts. Fitt seems like a guy on the cutting block. Find a GM who will steer the ship.

If Reich doesn't  improve on his HC responsibilities, then he is next. If Brown can start the process as OC and get the team moving, that's a start.

Bryce will be the best QB in our conference in the long run. Build the team in FA and any draft picks we have. Don't miss on any this time.

Have to go for the juggler while the NFC is starting to regress.

No more fug ups.

Yes they can.

 

This is also why I’m rooting for the Saints, falcons and Bucs to win as many games as possible this year. Especially Atlanta. If they land a legit rookie QB we are even more screwed

Our biggest hope next season is the dead cap that goes away.  We have 55 million in dead cap that should go away unless sheer stupidity strikes and we start cutting / trading expensive assets again.  Between that 55 million in dead cap, and another 29 million on IR, 35% of our cap this year is spent on players who aren't playing for us.  That's too much to be competitive when the difference between winning and losing is so small.

I'm actually a little surprised Sumir Sulieman hasn't been thrown under the bus yet.  He's supposed to be our cap expert and frankly our cap has been a nightmare for years now.  We keep looking at it during the season thinking "Oh, it's gonna look great next offseason" and yet we get to every offseason and it's still a mess.

I’d bet on Justin Fields being a Falcon in the next year or two.

    • The only WR that makes sense in the first is KC Concepcion. He fills multiple roles in the offense and is a PR specialist.
    • That depends upon what happens with receiver this year and what happens with free agency next year. Hopefully we'll be good by addressing receiver this year (regardless of whether we snag one in the first round or not). If we don't and are unlucky enough for to Coker get hurt (and X solidifies his bust status, and JAGs be JAGing), then we may be fùçked! But I assume that Dan Morgan and company will feel compelled to look for answers in free agency and use that to set up the draft just like this offseason.  Reality is not as simple as we drafted this position X times in a row in the first. If you're suggesting that we could draft a position in the first four times in a row, that's not likely. At some point probability has to be taken into account. I mean, how many years in a row can you be unlucky with one position?  As I've said at times before, you try and plan for the long term personnel-wise and cap-wise of course, but things happen so, in a sense, you still must look at each season--each "team" if you will--unto itself each season. So many things can happen between now and then. A major industry can profoundly impact the bigger picture (like this year), someone could offer you a trade proposal that you can't resist, players might not have progressed to your expectations--you know, things like that. Moreover, you have to be aware of the dynamics of each draft class, including the fact that there could be unexpected draft risers and fallers during the college season. That's a lot. As of today, we expect the 2027 draft to have more exclamations than question marks at OT and the QB class and WR group is expected to be exceptionally strong. We'll have a clearer picture of whatever we'll have to focus on next year at this time.  Lastly, keep in mind that there's always more than one way to get you to where you want to go. The yearly puzzle is not static, it's dynamic and complex.   
    • I'm fine with Thieneman or McNeil-Warren.. Rodriguez won't last until 51 so they would have to trade up, he may end up being a late first round selection. Anthony Hill Jr. is more likely to be available. I don't expect defense in the first round now after the murmurings of finding another weapon for Bryce.
