Do the Saints poo out salary cap?

They are going for broke. Brees is almost done.

No idea, but they've been 7-9 4 of the past 5 years so it's not like the talent they sign is ever worth a damn.

The salary cap usually increases annually. It's not a mystery.

They've been in cap hell the last 3 years, like worst cap situation in the NFL, its why they got rid of Jimmy Graham. Heck they still have 19m in dead money now, last year I believe they were closer to 40m

How do these fuggers keep spending money? Salary cap must be a hoax.

meh let them go all in and sign their scrubs that will get them nowhere.  Desperation to win before mole boy hangs them up

Does anyone know our remaining cap space?  I saw a graphic where we started the day with $25.8mm.  Assuming Kalil is around $10mm and the rookie class takes $6mm, it looks like we are already below $10mm we can actually spend.

If Gman likes to keep a reserve of $4mm it seems like we might only have $6mm currently to spend unless some deals are restructured.

They've gotten one playoff win the last five seasons despite a HOF caliber QB on the roster in that time.  That's about as bad as it gets in terms of mismanagement.

If we draft Fournette, Stewart would be expendable and save 6m, and Oher post June 1st would be 4.5. That's 10m we could clear really fast, I think we started today around $30m tho we won't know anything till some of these contracts get announced.

Cuts, restructures, spending it all. Not that difficult. But every year they do this they could lose great talent often.

Check out their draft history. Always drafting average/below avg players assures you from never signing them to big extensions.

It's all about how you structure contracts.

Cutting Byrd free'd up a poo ton of money. It's really not rocket science, you guys act like it's impossible to work around the cap. Just because our GM sits on his hands and waits for these contracts to expire doesn't mean that's the only option.

Salary cap schmalary cap. More mythical than the Unicorn.
