Without Sean Payton, Mickey Loomis record is 32-44 right now

In a salary cap league you can't keep and pay all of your good players. On a stacked roster, tough decisions have to be made and sometimes good players get. Sure you could have paid Hendrickson or Williams, but that would have meant someone else leaving or getting cut from an area we probably couldn't afford to lose anyone from at the time.

That move was horrendous though, it had catastrophic implications. You franchise a guy because you need time to work out a long term deal, you were paying either a 13.5 sack guy who you could move around and cause havoc that the Saints haven't had in a long time or Williams. You let Hendrickson out of the door and don't pay Williams a year later, and you've regressed at two critical positions on the field. It's gonna be a miracle if Davenport is here next year, in a contract year, he's been way below standard for what they invested in. I would have mentioned letting Kwon walk but you surprisingly caught lightning in a bottle with Kaden Ellis.

Loomis let way too much talent out of the door and we're seeing it every Sunday. The only positives this season is that it appears you hit on Alontae Taylor, Kaden Ellis belongs on the field, Demario Davis still has it and Werner looks to be an elite talent. Ruiz has had his epiphany where the light turned on.
