Elvis' 2025 cap and roster cleanup proposal

Elvis said
I think the misconception is that I proposed to tear it down. The plan I suggested cut 5 total players in 2025. One who is in reality is retiring, Ram. Two that have under performed, Williams and Cedrick Wilson. Two that have expensive contracts that will be more expensive in 2026 if they were restructured, Carr and Cam Jordan who is going to be 36 years old. The other old players contracts will void on their own next year and we would be free from being $54m over the cap and free from an aging roster in 13 months.

There is no gutting of the team going on with the plan I laid out and definitely no tanking. It's simply not going all in on an old fan favorite player and an over priced QB.

went back and read your proposal to make sure I wasn’t perceiving it wrong. I understand a little better in that it’s not a full tear down, but it is a refusal to be tied to Carr beyond this year and thus the other moves/extensions are made based off that. All for the sake of gaining/ clearing space by June 1st and then having a cleaner 2026.

I still think the issue is that getting money after June 1st doesn’t allow for improvement prior to that.

The Saints are likely to want to and will be players in FA so they’ll need that money b4 June1
