All of this for one NFC Conference Championship appearance. Buccs got a Lombardi trophy with a reject coach and a free agent QB on his last leg.

The Saints organization is a joke. "Win now mode" yet they won nothing.

It’s not necessarily the trading players, but dumping salary that’s the problem with the way we structure. You trade a player that has that backloaded deal, whatever guaranteed money you have spread out immediately comes due. You then now have to get a team to take on that guaranteed money from you, meaning your negotiating power is reduced.

In other words, Kamara may be worth a 2nd round pick or some package of picks. But a team wanting him has to agree to take on that guaranteed money before restructure to fit their salary cap situation. Even if a team has unlimited space, they would find a way to reduce the asking price to as little as possible to take on the contract. So a practical Kamara trade may only be for a 5th this year and a 3rd next.

That’s the situation with a lot of our contacts and why we can’t just trade players like it is Madden.
