NOF: Saints in position to get under the cap with ease and create another $30+ million in cap space to add new players

It's really not, and the effort to boil down the subject to that is nonsense. It's an enormously complex subject and to act like a know it all doesn't help the discussion.
It's not being a know it all. You have your opinion and I have mine. I think your opinion relies on a lot of assumptions where mine is drawn from things I can see in the data, which I am at least providing for context. If my math is wrong, I welcome someone to come in and correct me because I am trying to understand this part of football more than I did a few years ago. I think it helps the discussion to work to understand how the cap works, how most teams in the league manage the cap, how our team manages the cap and what the repercussions of the different strategies are in real terms. The terms we are most familiar with is the Saints cap situation which is vastly different than all other teams.
