All this gloom & doom talk yet.. (1 Viewer)

I don't see it without giving up a player or two that likely nullifies his benefit to the team and this years first. That likely means the 2021 Saints are no better than they were in 2020.

It will take a lot more then 1 1st round. pick and 2. starters

We hear about the cap issues every single year and Loomis always makes it work. This year will be no different.

This is on a different level than the other years.

If we get Russ we’ll have better than the 8th best odds.

But we don’t have Russ currently. Hence, the 8th best odds. I only said that we are getting Russ. I didn’t say that bc of the odds. I just felt like saying it

All this gloom and doom talk about the Saints and their cap and QB uncertainty issues yet Vegas as of yesterday still has them with the 8th best SB odds. What do they know that we don’t?

We are trading Drew Brees, Andrus Peat, Taysom Hill, and Noah Spence to Houston for Mr. Watson.

Bet the Texans will jump at that.

Bet the Texans will jump at that.

I mean they traded Nuc for like, a sack of rice.

Please elaborate.

Please elaborate.

We’ve never had the salary cap go down before. We’ve never been anywhere near this far over the cap before.

We’ve never had the salary cap go down before. We’ve never been anywhere near this far over the cap before.

And yet, thankfully, there are multiple paths to get where we need to be without significantly compromising our roster.

We can also either trade for a star QB or sign a QB and spread out the cap hit without going back over.

We are very fortunate to have the best people in the business at this.

when's the last time we had a cap surplus?

there are some good teams (e.g. pats) that typically do.

Nothing. Those odds are set for betting and are based on perception.

Without Brees in the past two years the team is 8-1. That's what Vegas knows. It's still a very talented team even without Brees. With him playing at a high level you have to put him in the Top 3-5 of those odds. Without him this is still a Top 10 team that could surprise people and make another run.
