The fastest path for the Saints to clear the decks of their salary cap issues

Draft better, be better at getting great value for your $$$ out of the right free agents, coach better, and you win football games.

We have had far too many strikeouts as of late in all the above areas, and no matter what financial strategy you deploy, you will be screwed.
Football is not played on spreadsheets and accounting ledgers. This is a 20/20 hindsight convenient boogeyman to point the finger at.

And I know many won’t want to hear this…a team whose absolute floor has essentially been being a .500 type team for almost 20 years isn’t the end of the world.

We are a lot closer to being a championship contender than we are to needing to tear it all down in order to get better. There are teams that felt they had to tear it all down a very long time ago, and guess what, they are still tore down to this day.
