No, the reason we're in a tough spot cap-wise is because of the abundant amount of talent on the team, which Loomis brought here through excellent drafting and Free Agency acquisitions.

Thanks for your question!

You see, I thought this went with the pros and cons of back loading. Pro, you can bring in more talent than normal because most of it is back loaded, but con is that you get years like this where you have to trim down your roster.

I am not saying your GM is bad, I thought this year was just part of the back loading phase. But I have been wrong before. Like last year when I thought the Falcons would make it back to the playoffs.........

great answer

Dealing with tough cap issues is a natural result of success (or dumbass decisions- as w/Dallas). I've been preaching about SF, Carolina, & Seattle this off season. They are all very similar to the Saints ala 2008-2009. That is, they have yet to hit the cycle of having to pay the players that have brought them success. We got by with all world Brees getting less than Sanchez and Sam Bradford. Jahri Evans had better years being paid sub-$1mil and now gets $11mil.
Continued success past '09 reflects Loomis' skill in navigating that path. Let's give those other three NFC teams another year or two and see if their success rolls on
