If i had to wager, i bet a good number of these FO backers are in 'win now' mode as well. They just want to argue against any "FO poo poo" points, which are all valid.
Seriously, what Bengals fan doesn't want to win now with Burrow and Co in their prime? The FO isn't thinking that way though.
Honestly, the bengals FO does a pretty good job when you look at the team globally. I do wish they would “push their chips in” from time to time.
The saints have 88,000,000 in dead money this year, 60,000,000 in dead money next year. They haven’t been to the playoffs since 2020.
I say this as the manipulating salary cap is a slippery slope. Yes the saints won a Super Bowl, so likely worth it… but the bad cap management came well after that Super Bowl.
