Nick Underhill: Saints Might Not Move on from DA

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.



You seem to think that everyone who comments on the Cap doesn't understand how it works. I understand how it works and why they use it like they do.

But I also know that it limits our off season signings to the bottom of the barrel as we've seen for the past few seasons. And the current players taking the biggest chunk of our payroll are not producing much.

Loomis follows the exact opposite pattern Bill Walsh advocated. Bill told his All Pro centre he would trade him soon, while he was in his prime and his value was high, rather than hold onto him till he declines. The moves we made with Ram, Cam, Demario, AK, Lat, Thomas, all show Loomis acting the opposite of a winner. He is afraid he can't find anyone else to do the job, because he is actually so bad at drafting, so he handicaps the team with these ugly contracts.
