Nick Underhill: Saints Might Not Move on from DA

Our cap issues make it hard to shore up weak areas. $80M over will make it hard to improve or change the trajectory of this team.

People think the team will change course by getting rid of DA, I am not so sure. Roster has glaring weaknessess and no way to address them due to Mickey's poor drafting and cap mismanagement. Dust off your paper bag, tough times are ahead.

One day, people are going to grasp the concept. We are simply using next year’s dollars in advance constantly. Pointing to the cap as our main problem is just pointing to a boogeyman. We CHOSE not to do it as much this year just to reset things slightly.

It’s not the big deal it is made out to be; we totally could have spent more this off-season but opted not to.
