We Aren't Blowing It Up, So What Now?

I'm talking about because of that bonehead we are handicapped and can't use free agency to improve the team at all. We can only sign teams terrible players since we are so far in the hole. In the past we had Brees/Payton to bail us out from free agency misses. That doesn't exist anymore. Carr is the type of QB that needs to be loaded with talent, not lift the players around him.

This keeps getting repeated and it’s simply not true. The team can totally sign players by borrowing from the future but they’re intentionally dialing it back for future strategic purposes. We have never been a huge free agency spending team other than once every blue moon to sign a guy like Carr. We bargain shop; it’s our style.

It’s like people have begged for the team to get the cap “problems” in order, and now that they’re trying to dial it back some to align themselves better for their next run, those same fans are now weaponizing that fact and blaming it for not signing players they want or not being able to blow the team up the way they want it to be. You can’t have it both ways.

You can’t say “Oh we need to fix this” then when the team works to improve it say “See, the ‘borrowing from the future’ style is why we now can’t do anything. I hate this!”
