Popular Post ctm Posted August 21 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 21 A few inconvenient facts; Loomis became saints GM in 2002. Brees retired in 2021. So Loomis has already had 4 years to clean up the mess he created. Saints are projected to be 25M over the 2026 cap.

Refused to admit the window was closed and rebuild on the fly. Instead they go and sign Carr lol... and kept handing out bad contracts to keep them in cap hell. japan, Omar, SleepingTitan, and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not doing himself any favors by trading all of his draft picks for questionable players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were never going to draft Burden. That second rounder was always going to be an edge guy. OILERMAN, and Callidus 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the bigger problem for me. Yeah its preseason but still.... Mike Green’s preseason stats through two games, per PFF: - 30 pass rushing snaps - 16.7% pressure rate (Myles Garrett led the league with 18.1%) - 30.0% pass-rush win rate (24.6 for Garrett in 2024) - 86.4 pass rush grade" Selected 7 picks after Femi.

He actually drafts fairly well. his downfall the past few years is the cap which is a little crazy because if you are a good personnel guy, you should be able to stay out/climb out of cap hell more easily.

I imagine the Titans were nowhere to be found when Isaiah Bond got his legal troubles put away. Callidus 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
