Be grateful that the Atlanta Falcons are not the New Orleans Saints

No one likes the New Orleans Saints, simple as that, and the Atlanta Falcons should be glad that they are not stuck in the same situation as the Saints are right now.

The Falcons team is young, they will have money to spend, and they have draft picks, basically the exact opposite of the Saints. The Saints are projected to be last in cap space next offseason by a longshot and they do not have their first-round pick because they gave it away to the Eagles.

The Saints are also an old and declining team, just think about all of their players who are on the wrong side of their careers — Tyrann Mathieu, Cam Jordan, Demario Davis, Taysom Hill, Jarvis Landry, etc…

These two teams are complete opposites, and fortunately for us, we are on the better side.
