Not sure how that equates to being the 5th worst team unless you are putting all the weight on the cap situation.
Aging Cam, AK, and DD, uncertainty on Latt & Ram coupled with the atrocious drafting since 2017 and it’s not hard to project the Saints in the bottom 20s.
Like this year, with the NFC South weakness the Saints record for 2024 will likely have the Saints looking better than they really are. We’re in the 3rd inning of a lost decade due to horrific ownership and management.

The negative developments can be balanced by continued development of young players who began to emerge this past season. Movement of teams up and down is fluid every season. There are 6 to 8 top level teams every year and the same number at the bottom. The middle 20 teams are very close and factors like schedule, injuries, development of young players and regression of veterans can impact the ultimate finish. The young Saints receivers are on the verge of being one of the elite groups and the young defensive backs will continue to emerge. If they can fix the lines on both sides of the ball through free agency and possibly add Brock Bowers to the tight end room this team can be in the upper half of the league. The Carr of the second half of the season needs to pick up where he left and continue to mesh with the team.

I wouldn’t exactly call it a lost decade. But I do think we’re going to see a shakeup of how things are done after this year if we miss the playoffs again, which could result in some 5-6 win seasons.
The lack of hitting on draft picks is of more of a concern to me than the aging vets. You can manage the Cap the way the Saints do IF you hit on the draft picks. But they haven’t. They’ve missed a lot
