The guy who gets us out of salary cap purgatory every year is the same as the guy who puts us in salary cap purgatory every year.

What's the purpose of these threads? Are we just going to keep making blanket complaint threads until we see a "Saints Sign...." thread then everybody will be back on board with the Saints and Loomis.

Who would you have liked us to sign at yesterday's prices?

Cap purgatory and yet we were still able to sign the highest paid free agent on the open market.

I guess the Saints are the only team in the league losing average talent right now? All the "responsible" teams not in purgatory (based on fans' limited understanding of the cap) aren't losing any average or good players?

Yeah, but can he play safety?

People who don't know need to stop acting like they know.



Every team does this, and has been since the salary cap started. The Niners set the tone back in the 80s, winning several Super Bowls in the process of appearing to "mortgage the future," and pretty much every successful team has followed the model since then.

It's downright silly to say this pattern leads to a crash since the cap has gone up every single season for decades. Now, if or when profits slip, then someone might rightfully gripe this model brings on a crash, but until then it's standard practice for teams trying to build a roster that can win.

If he gets us out of it every year, then why does it matter if he puts us back into it?
