As a fan from a far, should they be dumping big money contracts?

Should the saints rebuild by trading the big dogs for picks?
Kamara
Jordan
Davis
Thomas
Williams
Lattimore

I say this that you could draft players and have some rookie contracts to help offset the money they spent on Carr

The saints are about to and should enter a complete rebuild and just realize we need to become the Lions and what they did

Spend some time messing around with OTC or spotrac and check out how these deals are structured. The team cannot afford to trade/cut any of their big named players

Almost all of these contracts are backloaded with guaranteed money/dead cap. The only ones with value are probably Kamara and Lattimore. From what I read the absolute earliest the Saints can get out from under Carr's contract is 2026.

I don’t want to trade Jordan. Let him retire a Saint if he wants.
Kamara is still productive. Would hate to lose Davis. Unfortunately, those two would likely bring the most in return.

Trade Lattimore
Trade Kamara
Maybe Jordan can do a contract favor so he can go play with a winner.

No. Talent isn't the issue with this team. QB play and coaching is. We should be a true contender, but unfortunately we are stuck with garbage at those critical spots while the rest of this talented team is wasted.

We should be dumping the low money contracts for future picks.

Bresee could get us a future 1st

Alonte and Olave are worth a 2nd or 3rd

Miller is worth something. Saunders maybe.

Saints suck and will continue to suck for a few years. Embrace that fact and look ahead three years as a starting point for a future rebuild.

Time to:

1) Fire sale what we can for picks. At the 24 and 25 drafts, trade all our picks for higher future picks.

2) Stop hiring free agents who cost more than the minimum. No long term contracts. Focus on paying off all the debt ASAP.

3) Hire the cheapest and worst o line possible and let Carr get hit over and over and over. Couple that with $3 beer and I'll renew my tickets.

4) Look to 2026-27 as the rebuild. We could have a few nice 1st round picks in 2026 and 2027 and lots of money to spend.

5) Let DA ride out his contract and lose. He knows how to do that. Flash all our picks and cap space in 2026 to available coaches and get the best one available.

Not many of those players have value in a trade. If we could unload Kamara, it may be possible. Lattimore has a lot of value. The rest, probably minimal if any.
