Let's talk salary cap

Most of us are fine with it taking 2-3 years. As long as we have a plan.
Exactly. For the love of god this. I was totally prepared for some lean years when Brees and SP left. I expected it. It was a logical expectation. We had the greatest run in franchise history but the window closed. I assumed Loomis would abandoned the all in strategy as soon as Brees retired. I assumed they would stop putting themselves in a bind with the cap. I assumed they would stop trading draft picks willy nilly. For some reason I assumed the Saints would rebuild and focus on the future. Instead, they went all in with Dennis Allen and Jameis Winston after trying to trade the farm for Deshaun Watson lol. Who could've known that wasn't a good idea?

It's time to abandon the all in deal once and for all. Get back to the basics. This team isn't a Super Bowl contender. Stop operating like you're just a player or two away from winning it all.
