7 mill is way more than we have. Pass

Hopefully he passes through waivers, then we can claim him for less. Right?

 

[Saint Floyd]

We’d be better off setting the cash on fire. Keep that guy far away from this organization.

If he clears waivers he becomes a free agent without a contract.

Not exactly, he would be a free agent and want to come here. Even then we'd have to offer him out a contract he would agree to.

We really don't know where OBJ wants to go, but this contract change allows him to pick and choose where he wants to go if he clears waivers. In terms of the Saints, Loomis can be creative, keeping the remainder of his 2021 salary league minimum and extending him for a couple or three years, spreading out any bonus or guaranteed salary out. Still a challenge for us with our cap situation, but honestly I believe this gives us the best chance to try to get him on board, again assuming he clears waivers. Long shot, but one where we can at least give it a try if we want to!

He's not going to end up here. Period. This is reaching Suh- thread levels.

OBJ has long coveted SP’s offense. He once stated in a tweet that SP’s offense is the best in the league.

I he clears waivers, we can sign him to an incentive laden back loaded contract. Longshot. He will probably end up with New England or the Raiders,

 

[Krodwhodat]

If we had Brees then no brainer but we don’t have the QB to control him. He will end up in Tampa or GB

Bingo

No way he's going from Baker to Trevor.

His father would probably create a video showing all the missed throws Trevor made during his Denver days.

If he clears waivers and if Tom Brady wants him ......

Just saying.

It’s a $1 million waiver claim now after the restructure. I would be shocked if the Saints didn’t put in a claim. It easy for every team to avoid the post waiver negotiation and just claim the restructured contract.

But I’d also expect the other 22 teams ahead to put in a claim too with that cheap cap hit now. He hasn’t played a full season at his All-Pro level so I also wouldn’t be surprised if the 22 ahead all passed too and landed right here.

Schefter says different. His tweet says he still has a $7M salary for the remainder of this year

Yup. The way the deal was done makes it unlikely a team claims him. He will likely be able to pick his new home.

Hopefully it’s close to his college home.
