49ers' cap compared to Saints'

Making an offer based on projected value doesn't have much to do with how much money you have to spend, right? We are not talking about NA from 3 or 4 years ago who was in a position to demand more, the reason he is torn is because SF and NO have offered him contracts based on his value which is summarily lower than anything he is willing to accept. His agent is probably trying to play both ends.

Like the situation with Sharper the Saints should stand firm and wait for NA to blink, if the Whiners were smart they would do the same. I really don't see the Saints or SF offering significantly more than projected value.
