Marty’s move simply created cap space that can be rolled into next year.  Short wasn’t going anywhere.  The restructure simply allowed us a little more room to sign priority free agents.  

At the expense of cap flexibility by guaranteeing more money to an aging player.

That's just cause I think Hurney has about the same chance as working out as me and the girl in your profile pic.

Yet it’s these kind of moves that allow the Saints to continue to stay competitive year after year.  Short was playing out his contract regardless.

Unless I missed it, does Hurney signing Boston not seem a bit ironic?  He's having to ink a JAG to replace his bust 3rd rounder.  You couldn't make this crap up!

bringing him onboard for cheap was a sensible move but hurney is ready to convert that into another idiotic grossly overpaid contract extension

pretty much sums up his entire body of work in a nutshell

Welp

Guess we are

Unfortunately they are out there.  He’s got plenty of nut huggers on this board.

Ok. Now back to these contracts. Are we still pretending he signed no bad contracts! Because you seemed to skip that?  And Shaq just signed. No one can judge that either way. What about the rest? 

[Mr. Scot]

Restructures are not pay cuts. They don't "create" cap space. They bring it to the current year by taking it away from a future year. Hence the metaphor, "kicking the can down the road".

it's basically the same principle is a payday advance. You get to use your money early, but come next paycheck you have to pay it back

Doing too much of that is what put us in cap hell before.

How come the Saints are negative in cap space every year, yet sign whoever they want whenever they want?

Patriots rarely if ever restructure contracts.

I thought hurney draft was good when Panthers were on a win streak mainly cause of Daley, burns and scarlett showed potential at some point. Even greg little showed flashes I think. And these players still can become great maybe. BUT...…...

I still think you can do much better than Hurney especially when it comes to resigning players and FA. Hurney is okay if hes the best you can find and I believe Tepper can find a better overall GM.

I'm starting to believe going from JR to Tepper was a lateral move rather than a shift in culture.

I will eat crow as always but I truly believe this franchise is doomed for another 5 years. This could get ugly.
