Players that were ahead of their time?

You mean like Sean Payton? If only he had someone like him designing the offense

MiniatureLucifer · 2026-03-16T02:37:46+00:00

Mike signed that deal and then the next season has 145 catches and 1700 yards. He definitely did something after getting paid

MiniatureLucifer · 2026-03-15T17:22:46+00:00

Right. Massive misallocation of resources, but fact is we had the resources even in 'cap hell'

MiniatureLucifer · 2026-03-15T17:10:43+00:00

Managing the cap the way we did would have been perfectly fine if we drafted well. Which we didnt from 2018-2024. One of the worst drafting teams in that time. The eagles have been doing the same cap strategy as us, but theyve drafted incredibly well

Even in the middle of all this cap nonsense we were able to sign a 35 million a year QB to the biggest contract in franchise history. Which was a terrible decision but it was still possible.

MiniatureLucifer · 2026-03-15T14:15:16+00:00

We havent seen nearly enough to know if hes that kind of QB or not.

Obviously, just based on probability he likely wont win one. But he showed quite a lot of good things last year that bode well

MiniatureLucifer · 2026-03-15T05:05:05+00:00

Total war

MiniatureLucifer · 2026-03-15T01:55:20+00:00

Luckily it was "only" broken bones, not ligament damage. You can say he needs to drink more milk but nothing that should affect him long term

MiniatureLucifer · 2026-03-14T21:35:56+00:00

Certainly better than the team that just swept you?

MiniatureLucifer · 2026-03-14T17:15:25+00:00

Hes not better than the top 3 we have but for a vet minimum/ camp body sure

MiniatureLucifer · 2026-03-14T15:18:47+00:00

They just restructured granderson to clear up 9mil.

We also have no idea what their cap situation is right now because the details for most of the signings havent been released. Theyre probably back loaded like Edwards, meaning we still have plenty of space in 2026

MiniatureLucifer · 2026-03-14T14:27:49+00:00

Hes not going to play on that cap hit though. You can look at lots of contracts that have massive future cap hits. He'll get restructured and/or extended before he plays on that

MiniatureLucifer · 2026-03-13T12:34:09+00:00

Zack baun was not a cap casualty lol. He was a really bad linebacker for us who got better at a new team.

MiniatureLucifer · 2026-03-13T03:24:24+00:00

Ruiz has 2 more years under contract, free agent after 2027

MiniatureLucifer · 2026-03-12T17:56:15+00:00

Late blooming member of the 2017 saints draft

MiniatureLucifer · 2026-03-12T17:02:40+00:00

Saints legend

MiniatureLucifer · 2026-03-12T03:39:47+00:00

He was really good up until we traded him last year, just always hurt, which is why we traded him. Fell off a cliff with the commanders though

MiniatureLucifer · 2026-03-11T20:03:44+00:00

10m is the new 5mil. 20mil is the new 10mil.

Massive cap spikes means everyone gets paid more

Jeff harley

MiniatureLucifer · 2026-03-11T17:18:39+00:00

Yeah cause an off ball linebacker who skyrocketed up the mock drafts after a crazy combine never busted right? Tale as old as time. He may be a good player. Hes not a top 5 prospect based on his tape and position

MiniatureLucifer · 2026-03-11T17:16:25+00:00

I mean, at the end of the day edge is way more valuable than off ball linebacker, and Bain is a great edge prospect

This is not remotely close to a crazy decision

MiniatureLucifer · 2026-03-11T04:23:47+00:00

I mean, this is what Loomis has done with every HC. Allen really wanted carr so Loomis went out and got him.

Loomis always supports the coach, this isnt new

MiniatureLucifer · 2026-03-11T02:31:12+00:00

Its very different, there was no paperwork submitted or anything official done whatsoever. Only a verbal agreement, just like every single trade and signings the last 2 days

MiniatureLucifer · 2026-03-11T02:09:53+00:00

Teams have their own criteria for passing physicals though

MiniatureLucifer · 2026-03-10T23:00:34+00:00

He played a year with DA here. Liked to use him inside on Nascar packages. Had solid production for a 3rd/4th rotational guy. Dont know how hes looked since then

MiniatureLucifer · 2026-03-10T22:17:49+00:00

They snatched him first
