This is actually a really big under the radar issue with our cap/roster building strategy.

We can't do what the Rams did the past couple years and rebuilding by drafting in volume, because we don't have the roster spots.

We are limited in creating roster spots because we have so much dead money hanging over guys who should be cut, that we sacrifice the very young/cheap talent we need to offset the cap strategy. The Rams basically blew it up and made the playoffs in 1 year (while keeping 3/4 of their most important and expensive players). This rebuild was done without the #6 pick in the 2023 draft, as well

The same Rams who had $74million in deadcap money in 2023, second highest in the NFL?

But theyre not can kicking, just the Saints to you right?

Youre a fraud and completely clueless. Shut the frick up pussy. Wow. Rams had $74million in deadcap for 2023 compared to Saints at $24million, but you think they got the financial freedom and a well played cap.

Saints have 5 picks and will receive 3 compensatory picks.

8 total. 6 cheap and third round or lower. We will absolutely be looking for cheap help through the draft.

PS saying NFL teams “need” to hit on the draft is the dumbest shite ever. OF COURSE NFL teams want to hit in the draft. Every team is trying to cash in on cheap talent from the draft and ride them.

Yes. As I said, "The Rams basically blew it up and made the playoffs in 1 year"

They're out of cap hell AND made the playoffs (in a tough division). We're in cap hell and failed to make the playoffs (in the easiest division).

They were, and then they took their medicine in ONE year. Now they're a playoff team with a stacked young roster.

We can't make the playoffs and are creating an even worse can kicking scenario.

You also clearly lack the intelligence to read words correctly.

The full clause: "We are limited in creating roster spots because we have so much dead money hanging over guys who should be cut, "

I even gave examples of guys who are taking up those roster spots.

How are they looking in 2024 and 2025? Their palate is largely cleansed, due to taking their medicine after realizing their title window was closed.

What you fail to understand is that if we did have a monster draft, we don't have the roster spots for 6+ young players.

The Rams made the playoffs on the back of their 14 draft picks in 2023.
