Anybody else still having a hard time getting excited?

I'm still just waiting on Jared Cook.

Am I alone here?

We’ve made all of the moves that were needed (Ingram had to have WAY overestimated his value on the market, and lost options after we passed). Get Cook and a cheap WR that can contribute instantly, then we have an incredibly successful FA.

Get more youthful depth, and this team is set up for Brees’ final run as well as the era beyond him.

I wish the season were starting tomorrow.

Why would help.
Is it gas?
Last year's ripoff?
Current team?
Moves?
MI?

We are in the twilight of Drew’s career. It’s tough to think about what Saints Football will look like once he hangs up cape and his licking hands tradition.

Downvotes [ENGAGE] but I think we failed this offseason.

Latavius has quietly run hard the past couple seasons and I don't mind the signing, but we'll miss Ingram while RB contracts this FA gave the chance to keep him for a steal. Had hoped we could sign Ingram and snag DT 2nd round in a defensive draft, which is seemingly less and less likely with our FA moves. Maybe Davenport and Davis help, but Rankins was unreal in 2018.

Peat's fully guaranteed $9.625mil option hurts. Seems obvious we were trying to unload him and got caught with our pants down when it didn't pan out. Left side hinges on Armstead's health which concerns me.

Silver lining: Latavius as mentioned. Held Teddy though we'll have to revisit long-term contract next offseason with Drew's gigantic cap hit in the way. Hopeful that Easton or some other guard pans out via FA or we address early in the draft. Happy Lutz is locked in, not wild about paying top-5 money for kicker.

I'll be waiting for the draft wrench we throw by burning our 2nd on offensive skill position. Maybe we trade back for future draft capital, yet not much to gain there with this year's picks I'm afraid. We're so close, yet I'm afraid we'll take a step back based on our moves thus far. Little worried about getting MT help as it seems we're of the risky hope that someone from our mediocre crop (Meredith, Smith, Kirkwood, Dez, Ginn, Arnold) will step up. Slot WR contracts worked against us this offseason which made missing out on Humphries understandable, but he would've been nice to have.

Torn on Cook. Would be an asset but don't love the price tag. Delanie might be a decent alternative at a discount at his age and coming off injury.

TL;DR: Ingram/Rankins glaring losses. Peat a liability.

Nope I still dont give a shite.

My fanaticism died on the field that day. I will probably watch the Saints in the fall but not with the enthusiasm I once had. If it's all a sham and the man behind the curtain is pulling the strings, what's the point of getting all worked up about it?

I will enjoy watching Brees play out the string. He is the consummate professional. Too bad I can't say the same for the refs or the NFL overlords.

NFL NEtwork said that Green Bay “won” free agency in the NFC already, yet I didn’t know who the frick the guys they signed were on defense.
