In fact ZT has even mentioned that they'd consider other options that came along, and qualified his support of the OL by saying he recognizes that improvement is needed on the OL. Whether he meant players need to develop or the team needs new players was a bit vague. Callahan too seemed really unconvinced as he talked up the OL.
And to your latter point, a guy like Warford would probably have both detractors and supporters in our front office, any front office. The fact that the Saints gave him a 750k bonus earlier in the offseason and then cut him suggests to me that their lack of support for him was far from unanimous. Point being there are likely diverse opinions in any front office.
In the end, the opinions of the people up top are all that matters, and if Mikey and co aren't interested in investing serious coin into the line, then no other opinion matters. Not saying it's Mike, but who knows? I do know he's made it clear over the years that he doesn't like spending much on interior linemen.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
