Saints Cap Moves: Derek Carr restructured, Erik McCoy restructured; J. Williams released; cap space is at -$8,543,537

Everyone is still acting like there was some magic potion that would wipe out the cap by just sucking it up and “just ripping off the bandaid”. There were many, many, many explanations and possible ways we could have gone. It was very helpful to learn and understand, though mind numbingly repetitive.

And STILL we get the same, inaccurate whining after the one of the most logical approaches was enacted. We could win the division this season and a playoff game, in the midst of this cap reset, and still some will moan that we aren’t a championship caliber team.

We have a promising new coach and staff, the Carr situation is done, the final moves to get cap compliant are coming, then we move on to the draft and free agency. I don’t see us going all in on free agency, but just trying to secure some of our own free agents and a few mid-range hole fillers.

We have a debt to improve on but it is still a planned, work-in-progress while still trying to field a competitive team for many valid reasons. A lot to look forward to. Or still dwell on the past things that can’t be changed, you know, like when we traded the pick that netted us Gary Cuozzo instead of Bubba Smith.
