NOF: Saints in position to get under the cap with ease and create another $30+ million in cap space to add new players

Rouxble said
Loomis was on record saying he wanted to keep Trey but the numbers would need to work. Trey only got $16m guaranteed, it's almost pitiful that we couldn't sign him for that. At the time 45 edge rushers had more guaranteed money on their contracts than he did.

We gave more guaranteed money to Granderson after just two games this season.

Here we go again with the Trey Hendrickson example, which occurred during the most unique financial off-season ever, where we had our highest paid player retire, had an abnormally great draft class all come up for contracts, and had a -$30+ million swing on the salary cap due to an unprecedented global pandemic at the same time.

Why is this always the go-to when clearly these were some extraordinary circumstances?
