2. The "year you feel it" can always be pushed back and the can kicked down the road. I mean one day will we feel it? Maybe, but we'll likely be in a tear down-rebuild situation anyway so it doesn't matter.

The thing about it is when you finally decide to feel it, the year after you have so much cap space you can restock the team. And if the year you take the hit you probably get a high draft pick.

Issue is the Saints lost some key role players and their franchise QB. However, we had so much talent, and young talent on this team and a terrific coaching staff, a full rebuild would have been even more ignorant. Kick the can down the road because I believe you have a championship defense window for another year maybe two. Get some pieces and make the run. Then take the dead money hits and rebuild.
