The Minnesota Vikings’ competitiveness

Yes, pass me what you’re smoking. the saints use the payday loan approach, always getting paid a season early and only hoping their salary goes up next year to cover it. And the debt keeps getting bigger. No money to sign quality depth, just bargain basement and udfa players.

Bad drafting is a contributing factor is some cases, but the lack of available money at free agency lead the saints to never sign a difference maker at any skill position, not a pass rusher, lineman on either side of the ball or true #1 WR or TE. So I’ll gladly pay you next season for a hamburger today approach that no other teams uses. With the way the nfl is a copycat league says everything needed to know.

We’ll both die on this hill.

Someday someone is going to actually show me examples of teams that have spent this enormous wealth on depth pieces that everyone keeps talking about or how the rest of the league's depth budget is significantly greater than ours.

Of course our depth looks bad...it's all on the field at the same time, and our drafting of cheap talent has been horrendous. Virtually everyone's depth consists of mostly minimal salary guys, a small handful of higher paid guys kind of like we have, along with drafted developmental players/understudies, and UDFAs.

Ours is just more exposed and on the field currently all at once, making it appear that much more awful.

I will admit it would probably be nice to have a more expensive backup QB, but how much of that was just a personnel choice after recently drafting two guys you liked as opposed to an inability to add a more expensive guy?
