Most of us didn’t have a problem with when we had a HOF QB and Coach. There wasn’t any reason to dig that hole deeper with DA and the rest of our QBs since then. Like someone else stated, if we had started after Brees or for sure when Payton left we would be well on our way to a healthy cap situation by now.
The only move they made post Brees was the Derek Carr signing and that is not reason why we are in this situation with the Cap. Brees' contract had an impact on EVERY PLAYERS' contract and THAT is what we are dealing with.
