Will Khai Harley be the Saints next GM?

His work is unparalleled not because other teams can't do it but because other teams won't do it. Nothing against Harley, at this point I'd gladly take him over Loomis but mortgaging the future cap to get money today isn't something that's new. My redneck Aunt did the same thing with Amex, maxed it out and reaped the benefits of the now. Eventually though the creditors started calling and it's either pay it back or file bankruptcy. Buc's employed a similar tactic with Tom Brady but knew enough to cut their losses once that window closed. Again, it's not because other teams and cap managers can't do what Loomis and Harley do, it's that other teams know that doing that is skating a fine line between being competitive and being broke.
I agree with your assessment of the “kicking the can down the road” front, but a lot of GMs, has structured players’s deals, using Khai’s methods, in recent years. He can make numbers work, in a disgusting amount of ways.
