Saints at the top of Davante Adams’ wish list [Raiders trade Adams to Jets for conditional 3rd ; Jets paying Adams’ entire remaining salary]

I don't want to blow it up, I want to clean it up and start building the future now. Adams isn't the future, he is some other teams past. The other players are under contract, but simply aren't good enough or young enough to get us there anymore. And I love a lot of those guys. DD is nearly done. He's 35 years old and blink away from falling off like Cam. HB is the same, he's going to lose a step against young guys soon. Taysom can't keep playing the way he's playing. He's too old and he gets hurt. Latt is great but is on and off disgruntled and about to get really expensive. It's not time to get older and more expensive.

I feel like you're hanging on to the present and I'm ready to get moving on to the future after a failed attempt at extending the success we had with Sean and Drew. It was a valiant effort, but I believe in our preseason prospects less and less every season and hope fades earlier every season.
It has nothing to do with SP or Brees. You say you don't want to blow it up , but essentially that's what would have to happen. We are 81 mil over the cap next yr in order to get cap compliant we are going to have to either restructure some of those aging players or cut them.
Demario, even if we post 6/1 cut him he has 4.5 mil in dead $, and we'd have to replace him.
Honey Badger, post 6/1 cut next yr 6.2 mil and we'd have to replace him
Taysom. 6/1 cut 8 mil.
AK , no cap hit next yr but would have to replace him
It would take 3-4 yrs of chipping away and cutting those players to get in good shape with the cap and who is going to take their place draft picks?? We have not been gang busters in the draft lately

For me I'd rather sign Adams for 2 yrs , extend AK , who after seeing him this yr playing very well and hurt as well, keep HB and Demario 1-2 more yrs at most. Address thet OL and DL in the draft and make a 2 yr run @ the SB. We'd have as good a chance as anyone else in the NFC
