Saints fired Dennis Allen

Except you can't because it's this year and the you don't have access to the future because you maxed it all out. You sit with a moldy house and can' only replace a portion of the moldy drywall when you gain access to next years allotment which you plan to max out immediately... and just hope another hurricane doesn't come through.... ok.
The only reason it would have been a problem this yr is due to being decimated by injuries. We could have withstood a normal amount of injuries but not the insane amount we have. But the real issue is not how we do the cap it's the poor management of the draft, not only missing on picks but trading up and STILL missing on picks. If we drafted well or even not made the Davenport deal and the Philly trade we would have a supply of young cheap players to offset the dead cap $
