Ireland and Fontenot

Don't count out Loomis. Also, how much will the Salary Cap go up next year. That 17th game should really help offset 2020, and I think the NFLPA and the teams want to spread the 2020 hit over a few years. I have confidence that Loomis will keep the core together in 2021. Will lose two starters to the Cap, but not more than that. It is amazing what Loomis can do, I'll believe he can't do more magic when that rabbit does not come out of the hat.

The cap is anticipated to be in the $190m range, instead of decreasing the cap they are going to just keep it flat for a few years. If the cap actually dropped to the original $176 million, the Saints would be nearly $100m over the cap :eek:
