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.
Another example of a team going "all in" to win is the LA Rams. It worked out for them in 2021, and they suffered two disappointing seasons as a result of cap issues. Now, they are fully reloaded and back in contention.
