re: Saints are embracing a "soft reset"

It's become clear to me that a hard rest or traditional "tanking" rarely works.
In the context of how it gets used on this board, the purpose of the tank wouldn't necessarily be to get high draft picks to "quickly" build to a SB. The tank is to dump these overextended contracts, so the cap is more manageable. The high draft picks would be a byproduct.
Saints are roughly $70M over next year's cap. 6% of the cap is already designated to MT & Winston. If they trade Latt, you can probably count on your dead cap being 13% of the cap. What if Ram retires? Carr, AK & Cam are expected to count for 36% of the 2025 contract. A reset needs to happen, and it has to be a soft one that drags for a few years because of how bad these contracts are.
