re: As a fan from a far, should they be dumping big money contracts?

you should always be able to dump salary and trade players for picks in this situation
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.

If the trade partner has a bad contract or an expiring unvaluable player you can take that deal back to offset the trade in terms of cap and protect the trade value
No team is going to pinch pennies if we made Lattimore available. A prime aged and elite CB is hard to come by and will come at a premium
Kamara you would get shortchanged if you weren't patient. He is still in his prime and has a very elite skillset that is rare at his position. Someone would be willing to pay but you would have to see how the draft was unfolding or how injuries next season played out to find your buyer
As far as everyone else on our roster...it will be tough
Cam isn't going anywhere...with his current play, age, and contract he is unmovable
Thomas is an expiring. His best season in years was this year and he never had a game with multiple TDs or anything close to 100 yards and he has a significant injury again...best hope for compensation will be someone in FA giving him another chance and hoping it's enough to get us a comp pick back
As far as other players with trade value that make sense for us...I'm not seeing a lot out there for us
Olave if he continues like he has this year into next year could be moved in year 4 of his deal with a good return. Very talented player that someone would want
Adebo or Taylor assuming our cap situation says you won't be able to keep both...makes sense to trade one before they can hit FA
No one on the OL has good trade value due to play/falling off or a good cap for us to move
Saints are just in a bad way. This team was built and contrstructed for the only purpose being able to compete. Loomis didn't set this thing up to have an abort button.
