Think we’re about to sign Becton.

 

[OzzieSaint]

Think we’re about to sign Becton.

I think so too.. Makes a lot of sense, especially since the Eagles just traded for a G in the CJ deal.
Becton signs with the Saints coming in 5...4...3...2...1

Think we’re about to sign Becton.

Because?

 

[TruSaint]

Because?

What Ozzie said. Eagles just traded for a guard so they know becton is gone. Becton has ties to Kellen Moore

Ideally they'll be signing Becton. He's at the age where a backloaded contract is a non-issue as restructures/extensions in future years make sense for a player who will still be in their prime while doing so.

No... I loved Will Harris Secondary is going to be so green next season

It can work, Eagles secondary was young AF last year outside of Slay

 

[Noisemaker]

Am I correct - that all of these players will not be re-signed when their contracts expire at the end of this year:

• Taysom Hill
• Cameron Jordan
• Demario Davis
• Nathan Shepherd
• Payton Turner
• Khalen Saunders
• Cedrick Wilson

Does someone know the dead money amounts for not resigning them next year?

Hoping this will allow us to sign younger talent.

We the New Orleans Saints.... It never works for us when it comes to secondaries. Lol

$16 million in cap space likely means they have a specific move or moves planned. They normally don't make moves to create cap space once under the cap unless they need specific money for a signing or signings.

I was thinking the same thing. May be getting their ducks in a row for a trade to go through tomorrow as soon as the league year begins.

Ruiz is automatically a Saint the next two years because he has a terrible team contract.

As an inconsistent vet drafted in the first round years ago, he carried an unfathomable dead cap of $20M in 2024.

Now that his contract has been restructured, he carries a 22M dead cap in 2025 and $17M in 2026 - with 0 cap savings for cutting him post-June 1.

It's not until 2027 that his contract normalizes, in cap, dead cap, and cap savings if released post-June 1.

Kellen, figure this guy out.... his position, the guys next to him, etc.. I believe he has a higher talent ceiling than we've seen.

 

[ELLIASJWILLIAMS]

I’m still wondering if they’d trade for Jaire Alexander

 

[inetnawlins]

It’s crazy as far as I could remember we have one of the most accepting fan bases across all of sports all of a sudden not so much ig he’s just an anomaly

No, the base has changed drastically.
