Nick Wright On The Saints Salary Cap

RiverRat said

I really don’t understand the cap nerds. There is no special prize for being under the cap. There is no surplus that rolls over to next year. The resources are for spending. The only requirement is to be compliant. The Saints are the only team that handles the cap properly and everyone else is just mad because they suck at math.

What people don't understand is that the Saints do the contracts to give them the most flexibility. There was a report about Carolina's cap and the Saints cap when it comes to signing Carr, and even though the Panthers were better off cap-wise, they had little wiggle room compared to the Saints. And, the Saints had the ability to free up more space if they needed to.

Loomis isn't just a bean counter, he's an exceptional bean counter. I wish I could get him to do my taxes. :D
