With the 9th Pick in the 2025 draft, who should the Saints select? (merged)

I would need to see the simulated moves you referenced before making any judgement, but I remain skeptical that we can a) make moves which will clear out that $52-59MM cap space; and b) clear out another $40MM in cap space, while c) keeping enough of a competitive core intact so that we can add players via the draft and via FA which would make us contenders (and, hence, put us in Win Now mode).

It sounds like you've seen some of these proposals elsewhere. Mind pointing me to a few of them?

I don’t have access to my computer at the moment to where I can break it all down for you, but I’d suggest giving the OTC calculator a try.
