Salary cap: how do we get under?

Bushrod won't cost as much as ppl think.

Cuts:
Smith
Vilma - Most likely restructures for one year at the minimum.
Herring
Ellis

Restructures:
Greer - drops his base salary to around 2.5 million this year
Pierre Thomas - This could end up a trade. If he's not willing to restructure, his contract is trade friendly.

Brees - Brees has already negotiated the largest nfl contract. This was his duty to the rest of the players in the league to set the bar for everyone. He's got his huge signing bonus. he can restructure, in much the same way Tom Brady did, collect another bonus and push his salary into next year.

All these things are possible and can open up the cap room for a play on Spencer.
