Underhill article: “Saints moves are telling us what they felt the real problem with the team was last season”

This is the comment I left from that article:

I really don’t understand the perception coming from the front office. We can be competitive, but to do what?, win a playoff game?. We may be as close to Tampa as we are far from Detroit, the rams and Philly.

If we are doing a mixture of cleaning cap and roster while going for it, we should not be signing new players that are over 26 years old. We should be questioning extending veterans that will not be playing up to their cap value.

To me, we are improvising, not building towards a real competitive future.
It would seem reasonable to me that the Saints could be competitive and do more building for the future through the draft simultaneously by trading back to mid 1st round pickup some extra picks. I just dont see a 2025 championship run using free agency with other teams castoffs apart from one or two signings.
