Saints still have $37 Million in 2026 Cap Space next year

This is why moving Lattimore last season was so brilliant. It accelerated when he'd be off the books by a full year in addition to moving him before the rest of the league figured out he was washed.

2024 and 2025 are about taking the medicine. 2026 will be a bit tight but much better than a long time, and 2027 the Saints if they feel the need can sign anyone they want.

I would less characterize trading Lattimore as brilliant, but moreso a sign that they recognized their toxic spending addiction and started to deal with it.

The super part that Loomis did in trading Latt was getting more draft picks, and giving new assets to this new staff and their expected improvement for us in talent-eval and player dev.
