Then how do you explain Carr? How do you explain pundits being exasperated each year by the Saints signing someone they don't have the money to sign? That is the biggest proof. As fans, our problem understanding this hinges from the fact that we're not in the room. We don't know for sure who the team values and who they don't. Is Onyemata a cap casualty or a player Loomis no longer values?
Good point. Obviously, he was a target that came at a reasonable price, and we started up the annual restructuring machine to accommodate him. Onyeymata was a cap casualty once he wanted more than we were offering.
