and Welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, Matthew Collar here as we continue timeline

week here on the show to talk about teams that are stuck in the middle

from the covering the New Orleans Saints from New Orleans dot football the

greatest internet website name that exists is my buddy Nick Underhill. What is up Nick? How are you?

Doing all right man. Thanks for having me. You are the purple insider of New Orleans basically and except for more successful and you are also on very

opposite sides of the debates over whether the cap exists.

So I see us on Twitter where I'm going like,

oh yeah, cap's a myth folks,

and you're being like, stop worrying about the cap folks.

Yeah, see, I don't know that it's a myth,

but I would say my one argument against your argument is that I think some people look at it too rigidly and I'm not saying that's right or wrong. I'm just saying that like when people are like well he like

Toronto's that has a dead money he had a 13 million okay but like the Saints

look at it is an overall piece you know one thing and it's not necessarily

so segmented out so okay there's 13 million

deb but they'll just push another 13 million forward and if you push the same 13 million

forward every single year in perpetuity you could do that until football ends or there is a pandemic and you really never actually have to pay the bill for that 13 million if you're committed to keep doing that.

So, you know, I don't, I think where I get in trouble is that, you know, I don't I think where I get in trouble is that you know I kind of fight against it hard enough to where people think I'm like in support like I don't think their way of managing the cap is the best way but it is something they can keep doing but I actually

think we're seeing evidence as I'm taking their foot off the gas now in being like okay it's

post-Breeze this probably isn't a Super Bowl caliber team.

It's maybe a playoff caliber team.

It doesn't make sense to maybe push all your chips in and I think they're taking on some of that

in trying to clean up the cap a little bit.
