Reset is not possible

Anyone who thinks resetting means a single offseason roster massacre flat out has no idea what they are talking about. The Saints are already one year into their reset. Notice all the moves Loomis DID NOT make this year. He restructured just enough to get under the cap and have space for emergency signings. He didn't make any outlandish moves for free agents. He was actually trying to trade back in the draft. He traded Lattimore to accumulate more picks next year and the move was already brilliant when he did it, and it looks more and more brilliant with every game Lattimore misses. He's accelerated Lattimore's cap hit in exchange for having an easier to manage cap one year sooner.

The Saints are already silently rebuilding, I just don't think people have really been paying attention.

Correct. He made it very clear that they’re calming things down for a reload/reset, and somehow this fact has now been weaponized against him and his accounting management style. “See, we can’t sign anyone now! Loomis sucks!”

We could have totally done more this off-season if we wanted to, but we have instead decided to sit back and reset to create a better opportunity for later.
