Saints restructure Ramczyk to vet minimum per Jason Fitzgerald of Over The Cap

While I agree with you that Loomis always seems to “work it out”, I have found that most of complaining of fans lately has been about the delicate house of cards nature of this type of cap management and not that he can/can’t get us under the cap.

And as it stands, we don’t have much talent or depth to show for this voodoo management.

This is the key takeaway from this season. Cap flexibility limited the depth on the team, particularly at offensive line, wide receiver, and defensive line.

In a perfect world with little to no injuries, we have a pretty good team. When we have to extend aging players on large contracts to get under the cap each year, it limits what we can do with free agents if we don't kill it with draft picks.

Beyond hiring a new head coach, fixing the cap should be our top priority. "Kick the can" without a superstar franchise QB is not a path to success.
