Do We Still Think Loomis Is a Miracle Worker?

We need more Loomis threads is what this team right here needs.

I think that the Cap finally really bit us and we are having to gut the team to make things fit.

No

Graham trade had little to do with the salary cap

Grubbs was likely getting cut(he wasn't great) but got flipped for a 5th.

We can do better than lofton

This is a change in philosophy

Nope. Trading away Drew's best receiver and trying to trade away another is stupid.

If we wanted to we literally could have just converted Galette, Graham, Byrd, and Lofton's roster bonuses to get under the cap without cutting one person.

Then the pay cuts easily pay for Ingram and maybe even Browner.

These are football moves, not pure cap moves. Guys that weren't worth their contracts are gone or took pay cuts (minus PT; he was worth his but we were making room for Spiller or Bush).

We could have fielded the same fricking team that went 7-9 and that's what all these complaints seem like they wanted. We are trying to improve and we ain't even close to done. Chill.

There was no doubt that we would field a team next year, but with all the cuts, trades, and changes, do we still see Loomis as a miracle worker when it comes to the salary cap? This team will be dramatically different next year. Looks like they tried to win big last year and since it didn't work, they are completely rearranging the team.

This has become a 2 year plan, IMO.

Young talent infusion this year
Take on all dead money this year
Take your lumps
Good salary cap position next year
Add multiple FAs next year

Lay it all on the line for 2016.

Never thought he was
