There's no easy way out of this

Loomis acknowledged the cap issues the year Payton left and said he was going to start working to get it under control. It's why they let Armstead and Marcus Williams go. But signing Carr the next year and signing Cam messed it up and he didn't get back to it until this past offseason. But he should have done it as soon as Payton left.

I don't take what Loomis said about the cap seriously when Payton left because his actions said otherwise.

This season I am taking him seriously because his actions have backed his words.
