There's no easy way out of this

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.

No doubt he didn't really act on what he said after Payton left. He started to do it the first year when he let Armstead and Williams go, but he lost it when he thought he was getting good deals for Mathieu and Jarvis Landry. He then continued that with Carr and the Jordan deal.
