Time to end this circus: Saints have wasted 3 years of our time (merged)

One thing I will say about Allen is that when he came in the first thing he said was (paraphrasing) “we have to fix this cap issue”

Unfortunately for him and for the fans of this woefully thin and untalented team, is that Loomis has built such a precarious house of cards with the cap that there’s almost no way to get it in order without 2-3 years of mess (even worse that what we’ve seen this season).

No coach worth his salt would sit idle while their team is toiling in misery while correcting a monumental money mis-management. They are almost forced to let it keep going because it’s the only way you can keep players worth anything on the roster - even at the expense of your futures.

BUT….There’s ways to make it less difficult.

Collect draft picks and draft well.

Build a team of talented young players on rookie deals and supplement with mid-level free agents.

Most importantly you need a cheap QB.
