This is what 65 million in dead money over two years and injuries do to you... (1 Viewer)

I am not sure if this deserves its own thread, but here it is.

In 2016 the New Orleans Saints have $37,885,635 in dead cap space.

What can $37,885,635 get you?

Olivier Vernon ($29,000,000) and Sam Shields ($8,885,635)
or
Richard Sherman ($12,569,000), Brandon Marshall (lb $12,553,000), and Gerald McCoy (12,500,000)
or
Von Miller ($25,100,000), Elvis Dumervil ($5,000,000), Kam Chancellor ($5,100,000), and Vontaze Burfict ($2,547,059)
or
Earl Thomas ($8,000,000), Chandler Jones ($7,799,000), Dont'a Hightower ($7,751,000), Cameron Wake ($7,125,000), and Maurkice Pouncey ($7,000,000)

This makes me a sad panda.

Good point but the teams a lot of these players are on are not doing so well either.

Just taking my place in this fantastic thread hopefully there is change otherwise we will be in the same cycle.

While true, there is no arguing that those players are the reason why their teams are struggling.

I would love to have talent of that caliber on this team, but sadly we have that caliber of talent on the books in the form of dead cap space.

mediocre defense wiped out by injuries and no depth to replace it. Just got to let it pass like a kidney stone when next year rolls around where we will be much better off.

As a urologist...I'd gladly remove the kidney stone for free....

Sad but true!

i got no problems with Keenan Lewis.
