Damn. Sick burn.

I wish would we could have kept him, but we'll always have those 2 SB wins together. Best of luck to you Justin.

He was one of my favorite players on this team and I am going to miss him. He is one of the big reasons why we were 2 time defending champs.

Good luck Justin!

Yeah, he seemed to always be making a key tackle or hard hit. Going to miss him and hopefully Hicks will make us happy.

Are we sure that this had nothing to do Joe Horn, Willie Roaf or a Tanner’s waitress?

I'm not even sure how they're allowed to, I need to look up some cap stuff to understand how they can continue to sign people.

They take non guaranteed money and turn it into guaranteed money and spread it out of 5 years. Always 5 years because they add however many void years they need to make it 5. Low year 1 cap hits for all the new signees and voila, you are cap compliant with a mediocre team.

The Saints restructured like 6 players to have cap space. They just keep kicking the can.

[tyecopeland]

Just to continue this conversation. The Saints already have like 10 players that have contracts void after this coming season. Those 10 players will count almost 60 mil against the cap next season unless they get extensions. That doesn't include carrs 60 mil dead cap if he doesn't play for them in 26. Carr would almost assuredly be a post june 1 cut so they'd be able to push most of that hit out another year, but they will still have something like 75 mil in dead cap before the league year even starts. They only have 31 players that are actually signed through the 26 season and already have the 2nd least amount of cap space in that season.

At one point within the last week or two they were actually cap compliant for this year and next year, which hadn’t been the case in like a decade lol

I truly don’t understand it. They should have just taken their medicine and sucked for a couple years after Brees left.

Thanks for playing your ass off. Reid will more than likely have a long career on TV after his playing days.

I guess they feel like if they add enough former Chiefs players they might have a chance at making a SB.

It's just weird. They keep having to pay for shit/past-their-prime players and in the meantime have to let good players walk away. They are going to lose 3 good CBs in 3 consecutive seasons. They traded Lattimore in 2024. They lost Adebo in FA and will probably lose Alontae Taylor next year.

At some point, you'd think they'd hire a competent GM to clean that mess up and make them competitive again.

They just need one year. One year of actually eating the dead cap and not adding void years to those tyoe of players. Sign a Daniel Jones type qb, eat the carr dead cap in one year, suck, get a high pick, draft a franchise type qb. Cap restored, ability to actually compete restored.
