Well. a) "co-conspirator" does not capture the power imbalance. Payton was the Big Kahuna in New Orleans. However enthusiastic Loomis was about the plan, he was carrying out Payton's; b), going into Cap Hell while Brees was still there did make sense. Just think it merits pointing out Payton's timing in bailing out of there.

Payton was indeed emperor, and he did leave because of the cap problems he helped create as much as Brees' retirement. But this is offseason 3 without him. The Saints' 2022 cap issues may have been on Payton but Loomis is the one still extending all the old guys!
