{2023 Thread Bumped} Underhill Giving No Quarter to Nick Wright

Rouxble said

I agree that it has been a topic, but the facts don’t show we were anywhere near as aggressive before 2020. I listed some examples above.

I also pointed out in another thread/post that the Saints have not paid out more than 60% of player cash through bonuses before 2020, but we are four years running on the opposite strategy now. Our cash paid out as restructuring bonuses is way out of the historical norm.

There's a good reason for that increased aggressiveness though. Covid. The only way the team was going to stay competitive was to do what Loomis has done. Whether it works post-Brees/Payton is fair to say is an open question. I'm not saying I'm not nervous about how it might turn out, but for another shot at a SB, it's worth it. The question is can Allen and Carr get us there with a good supporting cast? Time will tell.
