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

I don't find so much fault in them because it boils down to a missed evaluation on Carr.

For instance, lets say their assessment of Carr is right. Lets say he ends up navigaing Carmichael/Paytons system w/ Gusto. 4000 yards and 30 TD's in year one and we make the playoffs. That restructure that they know is going to take place in a year does, but nobody cares because we're winning. They got it wrong on Carr and getting it wrong shines a very bright flashlight.

I hear you, but Loomis is responsible for both the money and the talent. It comes with the job of GM. He's the final word. If he shifts the talent evaluatiosn to a coach, that's still on him. Carr had no history of ever being a franchise QB and they paid him like one when the only other team being tied to him was the Jets using him as leverage to get a deal done for Rodgers. He could have said no because there was too much risk to that signing but he gave DA what he wanted. And we can't keep using the same hypothetical situations where everything works out to excuse bad drafting, bad free agent signings and bad cap management. Only one of those things can be 100% without the potential for failure and that's the cap management.
