Saints get 2016 cap relief in Brees' deal (1 Viewer)

[BoNcHiE]

I'm gonna agree with Crosswatt that this may mean we want to get some other guys extended this season so as to lessen the impact of them in the coming years.

Who needs an extension right now?

Now we can resign Forbath, get Parkay, and HAVE THREE KICKERS AND TWO PUNTERS!!!!

Maybe an 8th running back?

Oh the anticipation!

Top 25 - Available 2016 NFL Free Agents List - NFLTradeRumors.co has what are listed as the top free agents still available. looks like a pretty current list. anyone there that jumps out?

Calvin Johnson coming out of retirement? Lol

There's got to be another deal. I get that you can roll unused cap space to next year, but why create cap space this year specifically just to do that, when you could've structured it to fall into next year anyway? Something's up.

Not necessarily. They restructured Drew last year to create space and did not make any trades. Most of the money created last year ended up getting eaten up when bonuses were achieved or assigned at the end of the year.

Calvin Johnson coming out of retirement? Lol

That would be so epic ...

Even if we don't use it and roll it over.

This contract from Brees gives us options with the cap relief.

Can't think of anyone big now that Brees and Unger are taken care of. The biggest is if they decide to do something early with Breaux. Some to consider may be Vaccaro, Ellerbe, Fairley, Kruger at some point potentially.

Extending KV is one thing

Hmmmmmmm.

We lost HOOOOOOOOOOMAN. It looked like we REALLY wanted to run some 2 and 3 TE sets. Think we go after Owen Daniels? Like a dark horse we haven't had on our radar?

Browns are rebuilding from the ground up. Trade for Joe Thomas

 

[DCJohnson104]

If what I can find is correct Talib is due 8.5 mil for this year. This could be the move.

 

[Slaw]

So far we have Calvin Johnson, Aqib Talib, and Joe Thomas. Who else could we be after? There has to be a reason they structured the contract this way.
