Salary cap issues are not his fault? He's the money man, right?


Seriously this is the stupidest thing people say on here.

Who have we let go or not been able to pursue because of salary cap?

And show me the teams with massive amounts of salary cap room. list them out. let's see which ones are competing with elite players and making runs for the playoffs.

We arent cutting players left and right because we cant afford them and we even manage to sign some high profile guys. If those guys dont pan out, that's not Loomis's fault, but he got them on the team.

Your right. Roster moves haven't been issue because of the cap.

The Saints’ flurry of moves at the start of the league year — including trading Jimmy Grahamand Ben Grubbs, cuttingCurtis Lofton and Pierre Thomas, and restructuring the contracts of Jairus Byrd,Marques Colston and Junior Galette — were aimed at getting the team’s precarious salary cap situation under control. And yet heading into the second week of the league year, the Saints remain in terrible cap shape


That Gallette contract was a real winner...

As you can see, the main problem with the Saints cap issues is the enormous amount of "dead" money. If that isn't Loomis' fault, then whose is it?
