What Would Jim Finks Do to Turnaround the Saints?

He would cringe at what he would consider expensive, reckless, spontaneous near desperation FA moves. To him, this would be a base fundamental problem that had to be changed. Paying 20%-25% of Talent Budget on players who no longer play for the team would be insanity to him. That means there was no room for error in drafts and FAs as well as not enough money for talent depth on defense and the O-line.

He would have made the same moves himself at the time they were made. This rewriting of history like signing Spiller, Byrd, Browner, etc. wasn't celebrated by 95% of fans and talking heads around the league at the time they were made is ridiculous.

Reckless, spontaneous, near-desperation is not how those moves were made.
