Elvis' 2025 cap and roster cleanup proposal

Elvis said

Oh, it's controversial alright, at least amongst a group of 3-4 prolific posters. But I have no idea what Moore wants to do. I don't think any coach would ever claim to not be trying to compete for the division. You can do the right thing for the team and still compete. There are always scenarios like what happened in Denver this year where they ate a ton of dead money, started a rookie QB and made the playoffs. They were definitely competing. But they were also taking care of the financial side of things and clearing some players off the roster they didn't want. That is what my proposal attempts to do and I'd love to see it work out the same way as Denver.

Food for thought.

If Moore/Saints were concerned w/ public perception or PR relations, saying anything but “we see an opportunity to compete for the division” would have made sense considering it’s what most don’t want to hear.

That was a true statement and he believes they can and that lines up w/ everything Loomis has been saying last two years.

Loomis is competitive, he’s not planning on having a “we have to lose to win in the future year”. Funny enough it happened organically last year and we get a high pick because of it.

Remember I posted and article in December that pointed out we were the best of the middle of the road teams according to DVOA? Ironically because of the injuries we finished worse than all the teams in that bunch and the losing helped us.

The team isn’t so far off that they have to execute the plan you’ve laid out.

Nothing is wrong with/ the plan, it’s well crafted, but it’s built around the theory we have to tear it down to win and that’s where the fallacy lies in what you’ve presented.

We’re a talented team, just need to build depth so we can better sustain.
