Saints Cap Moves: $28,318,521 cap space ….. 8 restructures, 3 extensions, 3 pay cut, 1 release [All current cap moves are in OP]

[Merl]

There is still more moves coming. $15M won’t be enough to cover the season.

With all these retentions of current players, you hope the school of thought that says "it must've been the coaching" wins out.

Funny considering Mickey insisted DA was a good football coach.

Very impressive accounting especially without Hill, Jordan and Mathieu having restructures.
Sign Becton to a 4-year 40M deal with a backloaded contract and go hard at the specialty positions in the draft

Brees did too. Everyone affiliated positivity with the franchise will always back decisions made.

I’m hoping Hill agrees to a pay cut so he can stay on the team while rehabbing. If not I’d think we’d have to consider release him.

Difference is Mickey was forced to can DA.

Hopefully, the new coaching is the difference maker with this group.

There was a lot of individual talent on defense, they didn’t play as a cohesive unit. The same can’t be said for the offense, we had no true tightend, lack of depth at RB, no backup qb, and line depth was lacking.

Indeed, and the other hope, especially on defense, is that the likely change of scheme will fit the roster better than the previous one apparently did.

 

[SAINTSFAN]

A little surprised that at least 1-2 of Jordan, Mathieu and Hill have not had to take a pay cut.

…yet.

And just like that, the cap:

But, But, But Loomis and the Saints are the only team who has to utilize the cap this way, no other team in the league has to restructure player contracts to be in cap compliance....

Yeah I hear you there. My daughter is 21 now.

I was watching Dora’s Halloween Special with my daughter when she was 2. She said “this is the scary part daddy”

“I’m scared already, can I hold your hand?”

“No. You hold your own hand”

She is 12 now and I know I’d get the same response

Back to football, Saunders is serviceable and can help hold down the fort as we rebuild
