Their are some on here that will slam this post but I don't care. Who agrees with this complete gutting of the offense and the course we have taken so far in FA. I know money is tight, but other teams with money issues have found ways to Improve to some degree while we seem to be regressing day by day. I would have never dreamed that we would see this happening to this degree. If you don't like this post then don't continue reading or respond with some snarky answers. I spend money on this team and have a right to say what I think as do others. A half empty stadium with a deflated fan base is the last thing this team and town needed after a 12-4 season.I am just asking for some serious conversation without insults or derogatory comments about others opinions.....we are all fans and our opinions count (to us at least).

I am fine with having Olsen on the roster, signing a good vet in the next days, drafting two WRs in the first four rounds and compliment it with King, Mc Nutt and maybe LaFell. Sure, letting go Smitty, Ginn, Mitchell, Gross, Munnerlyn and Co. hurt in parts on a personal level, but I still trust Gman 100 percent. I can't believe the hysterie here. It's only 4 days into FA, the draft is two months away and people talk about an upcomming 4-12. We need to stop panicing.

I agree to a point. It's hard to sit on the sidelines while other teams are strapping up and yours is seemingly doing nothing. I still believe it's early and I'm keeping the GM to his words. It's the first week of free agency and the draft is a little more than a month away. I think I'll wait until after the draft and see what shakes out then. I don't think it's as bad as a lot of people say that it is. Just wait and see what happens.

      From what I gather, sure it allows you more room in that you can manipulate the cap more due to smaller prorated amounts to fit salaries in, but for cap purposes, you're still on the hook for the money at the end of the day.    "ChatGPT You said: What are the advantages for NFL teams to sign larger signing bonuses? ChatGPT said: NFL teams often use large signing bonuses as a strategic tool in contracts. While they cost real cash up front, they offer several advantages, especially when it comes to salary cap management, player retention, and negotiation leverage. Here's a breakdown of the benefits: ✅ 1. Salary Cap Flexibility Signing bonuses are prorated over the life of the contract (up to 5 years) for salary cap purposes. This allows teams to spread out the cap hit, even if the player receives the money immediately. Example: A $20M signing bonus on a 4-year deal counts only $5M/year against the cap. ✅ 2. Attracting Top Talent Players love signing bonuses because they're guaranteed money paid up front. Offering a bigger signing bonus can sweeten the deal without inflating yearly salaries. ✅ 3. Front-Loading Real Cash, Not Cap Teams with strong cash flow can pay big bonuses now while minimizing the immediate cap hit. Useful for teams trying to build around rookie QB contracts or with flexible cash budgets. ✅ 4. Locking in Key Players Larger bonuses make it harder for a player to be released early due to dead cap consequences. This can create more job security for the player and roster continuity for the team. ✅ 5. Leverage in Restructures Big signing bonuses create future cap hits via proration. Teams can later restructure deals (e.g., convert salary to bonus) to create even more cap space. ✅ 6. Competitive Edge In free agency, a team offering more guaranteed cash up front often wins the bidding war, even if the total contract value is lower than another team's. ⚠️ Key Caveat: Large signing bonuses increase dead cap risk if the player is cut or traded early."   I think that roster bonuses can be a useful tool if you're trying to keep players in by manipulating numbers and spreading the hit over time, but I don't think that it's something that you want to use unless it's "necessary." I don't know that you want to get into signing rookies on roster bonuses, as the bust rate is relatively high.

      not even if that team in New Orleans disbands before the first game.  Saw one 2026 mock that had them drafting first next year.
