Nick Wright On The Saints Salary Cap (1 Viewer)

You got the job!

Ponzi Scheme baby!

There have been a lot of folks in the media who question the Saints cap management practices. It all really escalated when Loomis started dropping voidable years into contracts as a means to just spread out the cap hit on deals.

Though it’s a confusing labyrinth of never ending restructures and bonus conversions - it’s still within the rules and until the league changes how they regulate contracts - Loomis is going to keep using this system of perpetually signing, restructuring and voidable year voodoo.

Most of the other fan bases think it’s funny how Loomis keeps kicking the can and it never seems to tumble into the gutter.

I was checking out a thread after the Carr signing and almost all the comments were about Loomis’ cap management voodoo.

Nick Wright is a hater. He’s always been a hater. He’s also a sanctimonious turd. Listening to him speak is like nails on a chalkboard.

The next time Nick Wright says something smart will be the first time.

Or, the only time!

Nick Wright is a blowhard who doesn't know much about the NFL.

He is only interested in getting his social media "clicks."

He is an idiot!

 

[Grand Master BJC]

That’s the type of guy/personality that is slowly killing sports. Everything is a Shakespearean tragedy with those guys.

This is the best description of what is on national tv sports coverage these days. Fantastic observation!

Guy is a hack paid to be a hack. Only thing that drives viewership. Permission to ignore.

He has changed since he grew hair. He went from bad to worse.

This is actually one of my favorite parts of the offseason. Everyone thinking the Saints are toast because of the salary cap and then their heads exploding when the Saints still make a splash in FA and going, "they cheated...". Love it.

Same here. Twitter has been fabulous in the last 48 hours.

What critics of the Saints salary cap management fail to understand is the Saints system effectively pre-guarantees a large portion of the upcoming year's salaries for the best Saints' players by converting salaries into signing bonuses and lowering the current year cap numbers. This incentivizes players to go along with it. The system only works because the Saints draft well in lower rounds, play undrafted free agents, and retain the players they sign to long term deals. Players like Michael Thomas leaving early on his original deal would blow this system up. Sure the Saints cap has money for players that are no longer on the team. What Wright is missing is the trade off is that the cap number for players who are on the team in the current year is much lower. The system requires long term stability in coaching staffs and roster (i.e. if there is ever large scale player turnover you are breaking the system. That tends to happen when you change your coach.) Yes having a tank year like the Falcons had last year is the normal alternative, but that year is not this year.

Loud and uninformed makes $ I guess.

Jason Mcintyre was trying to challenge Cowherd on the idea of Carr’s move to the Saints being a good one. McIntyre said Cam Jordan is a free agent (he’s not) and Lattimore is a potential cap casualty (he literally can’t be).

Two days ago he was wishing Carr would be a Jet.

Ahhh another bitter Jets fan. That explains it

It’s just bitter Jets fans trying to figure out why someone would spurn New York while ignoring the terrible ownership the Jets have had.
Give his podcast a listen. It’s hilarious how mad he is.
