MWil23 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I was right on Derek Carr bingo: *Weak division/one up for grabs *Warm weather division *Dome homefield *Team not able to take a QB high in the 2023 draft 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Why is everyone omitting Alvin Kamara when talking about WRs? I’d argue his presence in the passion game exceeds a lot of teams’ #2 WR situations. Kamara takes a ton of weight off the WR unit. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they can, he'll play 3-4 games before getting hurt again so it's Olave and a guy who caught 28 passes in his career. Got it If Thomas stays he will have to restructure, and it will be heavily incentive based. Shaheed was a rookie and only played in 12 games. Flashed a lot of upside. I'm not sure why you're acting like this receiving core is lacking talent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ_Eaglesfan Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 The Saints are now in the perfect position to compete to be a playoff team in a weak division and do nothing more. Carr definitely makes them better, but this is not a championship roster with him at the helm and Allen at HC. Basically, welcome to purgatory Saints fans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFL teams don't tank and the Saints aren't bad enough to finish in the top 5, especially in that division. Anything can happen in the playoffs with a great defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even without him the receiving core is more than fine. Tuttle is JAG so I couldn't care less if we lose him. Onyemata has made it pretty clear he wants to stay here. Davenport has done nothing, but would like to keep him at a reasonable price. They do cap gymnastics every year, we just get interest free loans. He has played 10 games in 3 seasons and is now 30. That's a corpse. You're $49m over the cap next year before signing Carr. But keep thinking you can keep paying your credit card bills with more credit cards. You see what's happening to the Rams? They're going to swallow some cap casualties so they can get their cap right for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll restructure and turn salary into signing bonuses and push money into the future where the cap rises...As long as the cap continues to rise yearly, they're getting interest free loans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question but can the Saints defense be considered great? IIRC, they were mediocre at best last year but i could easily be wrong.

Finished 9th in PPG allowed while missing Lattimore for a majority of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like there’s much to compete against in the NFC. You got Philly and SF, Dallas continues to make themselves look like dolts in the playoffs, Seattle and LAR are still reworking, nobody in the NFCN should be taken seriously… The Saints COULD make a run, depending on how the playoff seeding falls.
