They weren’t forced to make the restructure. They could’ve easily hit the reset button and cut Carr after next season, but they clearly believe in him. He finished the season very strong so I’m not surprised they want to give him more time. People also don’t understand how poor of a coach Carmichael was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were forced to push his money forward. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tugboat Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 On 3/5/2024 at 11:16 AM, Raves said: I think the Saints will be back to being in a good cap space sooner than people expect, but it's going to definitely cost the Saints some of their young talent going forward. With the cap jumping $30 million this year due to the recent TV deals, I wouldn't be surprised to see the cap make rather large jumps the next few years as well. But to be able to do that while staying cap compliant, they'll need to let some of their good, but not great players walk due to being overpaid elsewhere, unless they get them locked in before FA with a reasonable deal. So to those that are suggesting trading their picks for future year picks, that's only going to work if teams want to trade up and are offering up those picks. I do think trading back through is a good option for them as it'll let them have more chances of getting younger players ready to step in when players are about to walk due to their cap cost. The Saints were a year late in trying to find Terron Armstead's longterm replacement, so they made the deal with Philly to get 2 picks in that range so they can try and ensure Olave who they really wanted as well as Penning who they hoped would take over at LT or another player they had rated high in that range if Penning was gone. I think the bolded two concepts could very likely work together in conjunction. Trading back, but being in a bit of a unique position to be able to accept future compensation along with a current year pick, could give them a competitive advantage for teams that might be willing to mortgage a slightly better "future pick" in a trade up, compared to dealing with other teams that might be demanding all "current year" picks right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be all for the 49ers using their 25 1st to make a big move. The team is lacking in several key areas- namely pass rush and offensive line, and needs to push in the chips for now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Tso Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 If they were better at handling the draft it would make doing a reset a lot easier. Yes they'll be cap compliant this year but that's a far cry from being actually good this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroncoSojia Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 My favorite thing about this is Saints fans constantly defending everything the team does as if their FO is playing 4D chess or something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
