There's no easy way out of this

Underhill also said that he didn't think the Saints would be in a good cap situation until 2028. They really need to start hitting on draft picks otherwise its gonna be a horrible short term.
I think he was speaking more about contracts that will come off the books (veteran players) but the process is the same, we can add talent by restructuring , but also we have to realize this coming off-season there will be an even clearer vision to improving this team and it again starts in the trenches on both sides.

I do not think we are far off from fielding a competitive team, injuries really destroyed the potential of this season.
