re: How to fix the Saints - good article (long read)

Loomis’s cap shenanigans would have worked with fewer injuries. Are we seeing more injuries with longer recovery times than other teams, and if so, why?

Loomis will not be in the gm role much longer, but he will not be leaving the organization. Y’all need to get over that

It's not just that the $68.4 million figure is towering; it's that the Saints have painted themselves into a corner. Because Loomis has used contract restructures at more than double the rate of the next-most-aggressive teams, the Saints don't even have any players to cut for immediate cap relief. Their roster is full of players with tiny non-guaranteed base salaries compared to inflated guaranteed signing bonuses that have been taken from future cap seasons. Loomis did all this to build a contender, and the Saints haven't seen a playoff game since 2020. Now, the bill comes due.

Here's Exhibit A for the case to fire Mickey Loomis immediately.
