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.
Exactly. Rouxable knows exactly why we were forced to adopt this strategy in 2020. Covid. We had this discussion before. We got another 3-4 years of this kind of cap management until we can get back to a lil more normal.
If anything this saves us from ourselves in free agency as we can't overpay some unproductive DT's or re-sign a backup LB that would in all reality be a luxury.
