re: Carnegie transferring

Also, Oliviyah Edwards the #2 prospect in the 2026 class who plays PF/C has asked for her release from Tennessee. LSU, South Carolina, Washington, and USC was in the mix for her. Kinda wishing that recruiter who left Tennessee didn't bail for the UCF head coaching gig.

re: Gracie Merkle is set to enter the transfer portal out of Penn State.

I assume there will be more but here are 2 bigs that would likely be of interest to LSU.
1. UT Arlington’s Kira Reynolds (6'4, PF)
The South Bend native averaged (13.0) points, (7.9) rebounds, and (2.4) blocks per game as a freshman this season—ranking 9th in the NCAA in blocks.

2. Stanford’s Nunu Agara (6’2, PF)
2025-26 stats: 15.3 PPG | 8.7 RPG | 1.2 SPG
?29 PTS | 13 RBS vs No. 5 LSU (2024-25)

Hell no. She was one of the main cancers on the Tennessee team this year.
I'm gonna go with the coach on that one. Surprised they decided to keep her over basically the entire team.
No, but should be on Talaysia Cooper from Tennessee.

I'll never understand the need to put someone down to prop another up. I think both are good players. Maybe Dyson's lack of shooting really matters, though I don't think teams are really paying attention to Herb or Dyson so what's it actually matter, (if you want to have the outlier conversation Dyson was also a career 32% shooter coming into this season, so maybe the 14% is his outlier), but I do think he's slightly better than Herb. Considerably better in some areas even. I think there's a reason Atlanta asked for Dyson and not Herb.
They asked for Herb, we said no or asked for Onyeka Okongwu to be included in the trade.
This topic makes little sense considering there is not much separating Herb & Dyson. If you want a former Pel playing for the Hawks the answer is NAW (cheaper, good defender, better shooter). He might mess around & take most improved player in the league.
re: $100 million of Dead Cap….Great Job Loomis

I don't think I have responded here yet but when you have 3 early retirements hit at the same time as 3 big planned void years (meaning they were far cheaper the years they played than what their average was), with one person hitting for a third of the entire amount that was unplanned, you get an unfortunate year like this.
Early Retirements
Carr- $36.7 mil
Ramczyk- $12 mil
Mathieu- $7.2 mil
Total- $55.9 mil
Planned Voids
Jordan- $18.8 mil
Davis- $14.3 mil
Hill- $13.7 mil
Moreau- $1.4 mil
Total- $48.2 mil
Combined Total- $104.1 mil of the $112.1 mil dead space
The player we did frick up on was Cooks, who did almost nothing here and left $3.2 mil dead space, with no return upon him leaving. Saunders is the only other player with greater than a million in dead space at $1.6 mil, but we got a return on him (a good one with Fortner). We also got a return on Shaheed as well.
No team plans to have 3 huge dead money retirements in one year, and to blame Loomis for that is fricking stupid. And the other half of the dead money was just the bill coming due for having those 3 players on cheap contracts year after year, averaging out to less than their signed per year over the life of their contracts.
But I guess idiots would just see a big number with no context and think, "Ha ha, Saints bad, GM bad" like a fricking caveman trying to get insurance at Geico.
Unfortunate, more like a blessing. The combo of the early retirements & players too old to restructure is what finally forced Loomis to do what he should've done years ago. Slow down the free agency spending while eating up dead money to fix the salary cap going forward.
Also, props to Gayle for getting rid of Dennis Allen mid-season & not give him a chance to work his way back in.
Now, after having hand forced Loomis has done well (the coach hire, draft, & the small roster building moves), I give him credit there.
quote:
Is this true? God i hope so
A bit of a guess because the numbers for Travis Etienne, Kaden Elliss, & Noah Fant aren't in yet. Without them they have a little over $116 million in cap space next year
Guessing $80-90 (closer to $90) once they're entered. Even when you add additional free agents, draft picks & Olave's eventual new deal they'll be in a good spot.
quote:
Once again the Saints are spending 1/3 of their cap on players not on the roster!!! GM of the year Award is always skipped over Mickey….hmmmmm, I wonder why?
The problem is not all of the dead money this year. The problem is that this wasn't done a few years ago right after the Brees/Payton era. This is how you clean the cap. Right now there is currently no dead money next year & $80-$90 million in cap space.
quote:
Yeah, I agree, total overreach in signing Etienne by Loomis and co., I don't know what he was thinking of. You have an elite RB on the team in Kendre Miller imo if you give him enough carries, but they've used this kid all wrong since they've had him causing him to get stupid injuries that are serious. Using him to return kickoffs, I mean what the hell, you can use a scrub WR for that. In the limited time I saw Kendre Miller in there at RB you could see the elite explosion in him hitting holes and bursting through them like Alvin Kamara used to do. Alvin Kamara is a descending RB now, but it's Kendre Miller's time now to shine if you use him correctly and stop getting the man hurt before you end his career before it even starts. It was a waste of time to bring in Etienne because now he'll be taking away carries from Kendre Miller. Smh
Find a team that loves Kendre Miller like this guy, trade him to them for a 2nd or 3rd round pick. Reality is that team doesn't exist.
re: Saints only $6M under the cap

Crazy how people still think we in great shape this year when we still in the red before the season starts. Restructuring just pushes more money into the future.
I rather just have a quiet free agency and then be set the next couple years.
The difference between this & other years is that the Saints are $150,629,709 under the cap for the 2027 season. That would rank 11th in the league currently.
1. Jets $204,559,132
5. Texans $183,084,112
11. Saints $150,629,709
16. Panthers $111,355,524
17.Bucs $109,649,651
21. Failcons $87,259,360
26. Bears $69,646,170
32. 49ers $9,930,016
So yes, you can be more aggressive than the past couple years as long as you're smart about it. You only have three more seasons until you are going to have to pay Shough.

OTC did? I don’t see any news reports on it
Yeah, you can go to the cap calculator on the team page to see how much cap space they assigned each team. They set their number based on their own projections I think.
re: Saints only $6M under the cap
Posted by MannyG on 2/2/26 at 3:04 pm to yaboidarrell
They changed the Cap Space # from $313,699,986 to $321,292,222. No idea why, looked like the original number already included the carry over from 2025.
re: Devin Harper Is Not Yet A Tiger | WR Nic Anderson To Portal

Been waiting on the Nic Anderson entry, i was shocked he didn't enter when Harris and a few of the other wr were brought in. This has to free up a good bit on money. ey.
I was thinking it was entering the draft or portal for him. I'm guessing he didn't like what he heard from the NFL advisory committee. I think today is the last day to declare for the draft. All eyes on what happens in Oregon with Dante Moore.
My current count is 13
8 Transfers
3 Recruits
1 Holdover
1 Holdover probably waiting on the NFL Advisory Board recommendation before deciding enter the draft, transfer, or stay & fight it out.

Don’t count on it ,I think they stay at OM.Hope I’m wrong.
For the most part agree, maybe some backup depth players though. After this run if NCAA deny Chambliss I do wonder if he just enters the draft rather than fight it in court. He upped his draft stock quite a bit these past few games.
quote:
Being in the portal doesn't necessarily mean they are leaving. Some have been asked to look elsewhere, but others are using the portal to negotiate a new/better deal. We'll see. ll see.
Also, with only one transfer window it's better to enter in order to keep your options open with the amount of roster uncertainty that comes with a new coaching staff (at least on the offensive side of the ball).

I mean if Larry Ellison cuts another check, he ain’t comin even if satan himself is coaching Michigan next year.
If he thinks he's an NFL caliber player (every #1 recruit believes he is whether it is true or not) and Michigan might fumble that bag he'd make the jump. Basically depends on how he & his reps think about this past year & the new coach coming in.

According to overthecap, the saints have 9.4 million left this season, and they have 8.5 over next season. With 147.5 million under in 2027, are the saints basically out of cap hell? Do they have to wait till 2027 to spend the available money or can they spend this offseason?
Not there yet but outside of Loomis reverting to his old self the end is in sight.
They only have 40 or so signed next season. They'll have to fill the roster & make decisions on their own free agents. To do this & get under the cap they will be borrowing heavily from the 2027 cap. I'm sure Loomis will make 1-2 big free agent acquisitions (hopefully just one, a vet OG) borrowing from 2027 & beyond.
The best news is the dead money improves significantly after next season with Carr, Ram, & Tyrann coming off the books for good.
I would think so. Less so for Cornerbacks & Safeties. Moreso for the Defensive Line.
3-4 or 4-3, DT or DE etc., who your coach is & what their vision is for you matters.

This is a weird one. He's covering the ULL vs. ULM game for the Sunbelt Syndicate, posts this, & goes right back to his coverage.
I think he legit heard this & believes it, at the same time no idea if whoever informed him is legit.

What a bunch of BS. Rockstars/Pop Stars, how old are you, 80.
American society is already broken, the effects is just reaching politicians more now. Look at whats going on
- People attack the capital & are called patriots & eventually pardoned.
- Trump assassination attempt
- Pelosi husband attacked (Kirk even called for some patriot to bail him out).
- Healthcare CEO assassinated
- 2 Minnesota dem congressman & their spouse gunned down (one set lives, the other dies)
- CDC shot up with officer killed
- Too many school shootings to mention
Those that for a long time with a few exceptions (Reagan, Gabby Gifford) that were thought to be next to untouchable is now as much a target as anybody else.
Then you social media (where the modern day influencers reside, not pop or rock stars (sorry Taylor). Their livelihood are made stoking the flames in an us or them war like scenario on a daily basis repeated over & over again.
