Lol. And I'm sure Brees' franchise tag jumping from 14 million to 16 million the next day had nothing to do with it. The price of Vilma getting to collect that 1 million signing bonus slightly early is that he had to take a pay cut of 2.2 million to get it.
Proof that Loomis is the man is that he cleared room to franchise Brees, gave a player some short term cash to help hold him over, and still saved the club money in the long run.
