Loomis has been doing this using Latt and Ram as ATMs, with the expectation we could go to that well until their mid-30s. The one thing that can completely screw up this plan is if we had to deal with one earlier than expected. We may be having to deal with both of them this offseason.

Loomis already restructured Lattimore to trade him during the 2024 season (pushing something like $20M in dead cap onto 2025 with that deal alone), and Ram may have to retire.

Yes. You only want to be in the top 1/3 in dead cap if you are (1) rebuilding (had to cut lots of veteran salary); (2) forced to cut a QB; or (3) in a title window.

Rigghhttt, because having a good dead cap ranking is NOW bad. When before you were thinking it was high and complaining that a high dead cap is bad.

And you are now changing your tune, complaing that our deadcap will be high in 2025 and therefore bad.

Which is it that you want pussy? Low dead cap or high?

We were 12th in dead cap ranking in 2023 which what you want. Not having a lot of dead cap is good.

Deflect some more - I beleive youve now come full circle.

LOL. You have no clue what will happen in the future with either player. Lattimore’s restructure gives the teams options to move him and saves space. Quit pretending.

See article on Latt’s restructure and how it helps the Saints.

quote:
. Earlier this month, the Saints and Lattimore agreed on a restructure that converted nearly $13.8 million of the cornerback’s 2024 salary into an option bonus — saving $11 million in cap space. The timing and details of Lattimore’s reworked deal were unusual. The Saints, for context, didn’t restructure Lattimore’s contract in 2023 until last March, so this deal took place much earlier. And by converting his salary into an option bonus rather than a standard signing bonus, the Saints wouldn’t be on the hook for that money if New Orleans decides to trade Lattimore before the option kicks in one week before the regular season starts.

You have NO clue what will happen with RR. Or the 2025 dead cap.

Youre just full of shite pussy, and its easy to call out your bullshite. Now shut the frick up.
