We will be fine. There is something different about this team. They have heart. We have been missing that in past seasons. Peppers and others will not die down in this crucial stretch. If anything, he will pick it up. Remember, Peppers has lit up the league the past 5 games. If he would have started the season that way, he would be leading the league in sacks, easily. He is only getting better, and I expect nothing else. With Johnson and Hilee Taylor playing so well in reserve roles, there is nothing to worry about.

The Saints have nothing to play for anymore. I expect to win when we travel down to New Orleans for the final game. Not all players will throw in the towel on that team, but certainly some will and they'll just mail it in.

Beating CAR will give them nothing but pleasure whether or not they have something to play for this season. Remember the year they knocked us out of the playoffs.... Do not bank on that, it's still a divisional game and a game of pride which I believe ALL teams still play for regardless of playoff potential. Just ask Detroit, they want a win irregardless..... :nono:

Hell yeah I remember that one. I was at the game in fact. However the Saints were playing for a possible playoff birth. They needed to beat us and they needed the Jets to beat the Rams. The Rams ended up beating the Jets and taking the last playoff spot instead of the Saints. I don't expect the Saints to be completely unmotivated when we play them, but certainly they won't be as motivated as they would if they were fighting for a playoff spot.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
