re: Current cap space projection

Posted by Burt Macklin on 2/19/26 at 12:55 pm to
This number is meaningless. The vast majority of the cap hit from any free agents we sign now will hit next year and beyond (when our cap is wide open). The Saints can sign whoever they want starting right now and for the next couple years. This does not mean they can be stupid. Bad contracts (Carr, Taysom) or bad luck (Ramczyk, MT) will send us right back to cap hell.


Before you judge the Saints next payday, recall the worst contract in the NFL!
Catherine O'Hara also died of complications from rectal cancer, just FYI. Get checked.

Exactly this. I would argue Sansa Stark and Jean Grey are more "prestigious" roles than a video game character.
Venison sauce piquante has been a hit at my house and uses up a lot of venison stew meat (I think this recipe needs nearly twice as much meat as it calls for). Pretty darn easy and not a lot of ingredients. Good over rice or mashed potatoes. Freezes well.


He's a very similar hire to Kellen More. Young, respected offensive mind but not the stereotypical alpha head coach personality. So far so good with Kellen. We'll see how Kubiak does, but with Fernando Mendoza, Jeanty, and Brock Bowers his offense has a potentially good foundation.

Mavericks dumping Street Clothes

BREAKING: The Dallas Mavericks are trading 10-time NBA All-Star Anthony Davis, Jaden Hardy, D'Angelo Russell and Dante Exum to the Washington Wizards for Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham, Marvin Bagley III, 2 first-round picks and 3 second-rounders, sources tell ESPN.

He sucks
If Cassidy loses the primary, is there anything to prevent him running against her as an independent? Sounds like he has plenty of money to spend. With his name recognition and some Democrat crossover, seems he'd have a real shot in the general.
quote:

no, many people notice.

I noticed it immediately and hated it. It's the Geaux font (which I generally like) but it looks awful on the yard line numbers.


I swear the numbers in those two photos look exactly the same to me. I feel like ya'll are messing with me.
quote:

JSN led the FBS with 1600+ yards on 95 catches with 9 TDs his sophomore year. Playing next to Olave and Garrett Wilson 4.4 guy with elite testing in the athletic measures

Tate has put up 121 catches,1872 yards and 14 TDs in three seasons.

What makes him a better prospect? Tate’s a good WR in a bad WR draft
Well...

JSN draft profile:
quote:

Smith-Njigba is a possession slot receiver who lacks the shake to separate underneath and the speed to run past defenses. He’s tough in the middle of the defense and has proven he can make catches in congestion. Smith-Njigba will need to fine-tune his route running to give himself his best chance to succeed at the next level. It is impossible to ignore his monster finish to the 2021 season, and he has starting slot potential, but the speed concerns coupled with an injury-plagued 2022 season threaten to negatively impact his draft stock.

...and JSN was the 20th pick, as the FIRST WR (talk about a bad WR class!). I have seen zero projections of Tate that low.


Tate draft profile:
quote:

Ascending “Z” receiver who continues to step out from the shadow of Ohio State teammate Jeremiah Smith. Tate has good size but would benefit from more play strength. He builds momentum quickly on intermediate and deep routes, utilizing speed and tempo to pressure cornerbacks. He can win over the top on verticals or separate over the first two levels with route savvy and separation burst. Tate tracks throws at top speed and makes his adjustments to run under them. He combines timing, body control and catch radius to dominate air space and consistently lands on the winning side of contested catches. Pass catching comes effortlessly with soft, strong hands and he consistently works back on throws to keep ballhawks from hawking. Tate displays rare polish for a player his age and has the talent to become a heralded pro within his first three seasons.

Read those profiles - which sounds like the better draft prospect? The one with "starting slot potential", or the one with "the talent to be a heralded pro within his first three seasons"?

:lol:
quote:

Tate is high floor, but I’m not sure he’s high ceiling.
That's what they said about Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Tate is a better draft prospect than him or Emeka Egbuka. I think Tate is also being underestimated because he's playing next to Jeremiah Smith.
quote:

I think Weis will almost certainly take either a P4 HC job or an NFL OC gif next offseason.
Maybe, but he's got a contract that guarantees he'll be the highest paid OC in the SEC every year. As young as he is, he may take the Blake Baker route and wait on a big job.
quote:

his only success has been with Lane.
quote:

Well yeah he’s 32 years old

His play calling was phenomenal in the playoffs

He was on his own as OC at FAU 2018-2019 and his offenses were at the bottom of the conference. Not to take shots at him, I like the guy, but anything he knows about good offense he learned after hooking up with Lane Kiffin.
Certainly not worried if he leaves LSU - he seems great, but his only success has been with Lane. CLK is the offense. Sounds like Lane is grooming Joe Cox to take over as OC when Weiss does leave.

When's the last time a team drafted a RB in the first round and won a Super Bowl with him on the roster?
First of all - Reggie frickING Bush!! Secondly, winning a Superbowl is a pretty strict and specific criteria. Plenty of teams have had dramatic improvement/success after drafting a RB in the 1st round - Detroit with Jahmyr Gibbs immediately comes to mind.

8. New Orleans Saints - Jeremiyah Love RB

I love -- no pun intended -- the idea of pairing Tyler Shough with the most electric playmaker in the draft.

DJ passed on Bain, Downs, and Tate to pick Love. He doesn't have Carnell Tate going until 16, which is the lowest I've seen him projected.

It was literally the highest grossing movie in the history of the Predator franchise. But whatever, you didn't like it so it was a flop.

The catalyst for this finally happening will be Lane Kiffin and LSU tearing the FBS a new a-hole with ONE transfer portal class. They all hate Kiffin so much, they'll bring the whole system down out of fear.
It would help to know what these numbers mean and especially how they compare to other teams. I could've told you which drafts were our good ones, which is all this list does.
