Saints at a crossroads

I'd say the game has changed a little bit in the last nine years.

And, as I pointed out, most of our core players on that '09 team were still on rookie deals. We didn't win another one after that.
The financial structure hasn't changed as it relates to your point because there was a cap. Are you suggesting we didn't win another ring because we lost players? Who did we lose because of money after 09 that was part of the core? Most of those guys just got older.
