Just read an article on the Saints cap situation

Trade Lattimore

This isn’t madden. In no way, shape, or form does trading lattimore make your defense better


Saving cap space doesn’t do any good if you can’t cover

Would love to trade Hill to Baltimore for a 3rd rounder

Jesus Christ, I was trying to be polite, but what is this fan fiction bullshite... name one person in the third round that can offer the anount of contributions that taysom brings to the table






You madden GMs are something

I hope the Saints resign him.

However the Saints are about 100 mil over the 2021 cap.

Cut Alexander -saves 10 mil

Our defense is significantly better when Kwon plays instead of Anzalone. He was straight up abused last night.

Numerous contracts will have to be reworked, or the Saints will have trade away some really good players. I would resign Alexander; Anzalone is a liability. We need to draft a QB or linebacker with out first pick. I night try to trade Thomas, but who wants that contract? Ram and Lattimore must be priorities.

Brees retires,
Extend Ram & Lattimore,
Morestead retires/cut,
Restructure Jordan, Taysom, Armstead, Kwon & MT13,
Trade Peat,
Eason retires or is traded,
Let Anzalone, Hendrickson & Cook walk.
We will have to replace guys like Robinson and other vets with some UDFA, to trim the rest of the salaries.


We sold our soul to try to win one last one for Brees and now it’s time to pay up. I’m still heartbroken after last night...but I’m legit excited if Winston is our QB next year. Remember that Brees was throwing 40 TDs and 20 Int a game for several years before he started checking down on the regular. If Payton can get Winston to cut down on a few ints, we have a legit shot at being good (maybe even better since we can stretch the field) for another decade and not lost in QB limbo like many other teams when they lose a legendary QB.

What's the penalty for being over the cap?

So you read an article that basically says we have to gut the roster and your takeaway was that there was light at the end of the tunnel? Jesus Christ

What part of that translates to gutting the roster?

Yeah, there's gonna be a big bill that is due for our kicking the can down the road efforts. I think Winston can do good, but I'm not sure if he or Hill is the long term answer. However, with the cap being the way it is, you definitely have to use one of them for next year....though I'm not sure if Winston is a free agent next year.

The Saints have the most important offseason in years.
I think there have been clubhouse problems all year.
It started with Malcom Jenkins calling out the most non-
racist players in Drew.Micheal Thomas got suspended for
his fight with CGJ and Thomas hasn`t been the same emotionally.The saints offense last part of the year
with Drew unable to throw the ball more than 20 yds ,
limited what we could do.
Its time to reload and get rid of the cancers.

I also think this is very true and really this is the year that you may let some guys walk if they are FAs. Maybe you can play the compensatory draft pick game if you are smart. You can easily get depth for wide receiver and safety this draft that will be much cheaper than Jenkins.

Further, as much as I don't like Peat, you may consider moving him to left tackle and trying to trade Armstead if you can. Yes, Project Peat and all, but you did sign him to that dumb contract while Armstead is a FA in 2022. It may be time to make that adjustment while you can.
