I was reading the thread about our cap situation, and I was shocked at seeing that three of the four top salaries belong to Harper, Vilma and Smith. It's no news that they aren't worth that much, however, it got me thinking:
If other teams have excellent players that get paid in that range (around 10 mil a year), is it possible to think that by cutting these three or restructuring their contracts, we could land an elite prospect through FA (I'm thinking Revis as a primary choice)?
I have read all along the offseason that we don't have the money and that our "realistic choices" for FA's are unproven and/or washed up vets. But as of now we are close to being under the cap, we haven't touched those three big contracts yet and I haven't heard of any news source that the Saints don't plan on being active in FA. Am I wrong on that last point? What's your take on this?
