Saints Cap Moves: 3 restructure, 1 extension , 1 release; cap space is at -$3,875,537 (537 Viewers)

To add to my last post, I think for me, I blame more of our woes on extremely poor coaching and injuries than our roster being egregiously worse than everyone else’s.

Sure, we could use a big WR, LG, a fat DT, and maybe a secondary guy or two, but we aren’t a 5-12 roster. I mean, for as bad as DA was, we sure played a lot of close games, some against some really good opponents, and I’d like to think a great coach could have been the edge in many of those games.

Subpar coaching has not maximized the players we have on the roster and drafted, and we have had an abnormal amount of depth all on the field at the same time due to injuries, which spells disaster for just about any team.

So maybe that’s why I’m a lot more in a “Let’s plug these holes and try to win” mode than most are. I look at our roster and see a different picture than most people do.

It’s an average roster with some holes, primed and ready to take off if we can string together a good off-season haul, starting tomorrow, and get a little bit more good fortune going our way in games. JMO.

I think his worth is 2 year 19m. That Sigler guy is a negative Twitter troll. His last tweet about Carrs restructure : “THE CALIFORNIA BASED Derek Carr won’t help out his team”. Or something inflammatory like that. Coming from a guy that looks like he hasn’t bathed in his life.

Siglar is the biggest negative hack on the internet . I call him out all the time , All he does is chase Carr haters for click bait

It is such a weird tone shift from media day with being noncommittal. It didn't help that Loomis broke the news about sticking with Carr, either. Should of been Moore.

I will not buy the Loomis conspiracy of Carr being forced onto Moore. The only thing that I'll entertain is that Loomis took some time convincing Moore to keep Carr for a year. So, regardless... This is Moore's decision to sort of spend a year with a QB that doesn't make sense long term.

The last thing we want to do is actually build a contender around a 35 or 36 year old QB that will decline at a moment notice or fall apart from fatigue in the final hour on a playoff run. The window to succeed with Carr has passed.

So, it's just weird. Being two years away from a younger QB vs. being 1 year away is certainly a decision.

It does seem like if Gayle didn't step in with DA firing. I would imagine that he probably would of gotten one more year.

LOL it's the media and the DC haters that interpreted that KM was non-committal about DC . He did nothing but praise Carr in his presser

Why not?

Because it isn’t true

Which is very easy to find with a little research

Aside from the financial ramifications, this is the other part people just fail to want to accept. Our coach, who has watched actual film and has a better idea than anyone how Carr’s game could translate, actually wants the player, and the player is not as bad as he’s characterized as.

Like what makes this player so god awful to where people are acting like they want to jump off a bridge behind this news? Like we just gave the worst QB in the history of the league a new guaranteed $50 million a year deal or something.

I don’t like the idea of paying Derek Carr only 5 million less than Patrick Mahomes. Maybe I’m crazy.

We don't know that.

You’re not. You’re confusing salary with cap hit. We are paying the piper for borrowing from the future via bonus conversions.

We don't know that.

Well, I guess we can assume that every Jets website and Derek Carr himself are all lying. Otherwise, we do in fact know that.

Why Derek Carr passed on the Jets before Aaron Rodgers blockbuster: ‘Wasn’t the right time’

Carr, who was released by the Raiders in February 2023 after eight seasons, is entering his second year with the Saints.

I get the criticism of Loomis, but it goes too far IMO. He isn’t one of the three stooges walking around getting jobbed by everyone he meets like some try to portray. His chief fault is giving the HC too much control and not saying “no” when required.

I’ve even seen some people say the Saints have the worst owner and management team in sports and lemme tell yall something. You have no idea how bad ownership and management can be unless you’re a fan of a small market baseball team. That will kill your fandom so fast.

Ok
Lol
I don't think he was lying. They wanted Rodgers first anyway.

Expected this, also expect this will be his final season but we will sign him to an “extension” next offseason to allow him to retire and spread hit cap hit

Sorry bro, I was not trying to be argumentative. I love what you bring to the forum and particularly when you post your stuff for us to go and read. Was just pointing out the stuff I had read. Doesn't mean I am right, of course.

Either Underhill or Tripp said the other day that Demario wants to play beyond his current contract. Not sure if that will be here or not.

he's got so much void money extended that it'll probably help us to extend him later.
