People who make post like yours have no idea how the NFL salary cap works
neither you or i are cap gurus, i'll admit that.... but i know it well enough to know that the more money you spend at one position for one player, the overall quality of the team suffers, and the ONLY way to negate that is to draft well and meaningful contribution by players on their rookie contracts... we haven't done either, AND we pay him a large chunk of the available, non-"dead" cap... that's a bad combination for the overall health of the TEAM...

I've actually done my homework on the cap, so speak for yourself

Well that helps
How about the dead money? How about the complete misses in FA with high costs: Browner, Byrd, Spiller (had a bigger contract than Ingram). Junior is clearly Drew's fault

Ah, so because we throw money away on bad players, it means that Brees is strangling the team. Brilliant logic
We've had the money to get FAs, and have spent it terribly. That just expands on the bad drafts.
From 2015-2017, the Saints have 89m in dead money. the Browns are in 2nd with 45m
Think we could get some good players with an extra $89m? Hell, cut that number by 1/4 and you have enough to get some extremely talented FAs
