I don't know how, but the Saints are trying to sign Clowney

This came up on the Around the NFL podcasts this week. Rosenthal says the Saints are looking like 80mil over for next season and that's before they do any deal with Kamara. They're hosed, capwise.

The thing is I've heard they are hosed for 10 years straight and it never seems to happen.

If the cap retracts, I am not sure all their fancy book work will function. 

Then again, Belicheat is allowed to cheat his way to success every single season without any real punishment so maybe the NFL has just decided the salary cap only applies to 31 teams.

The saints are banking on the new CBA negotiations saving their ass. They’ve been gaming the system in hopes of a reset come next season. If it doesn’t live up to their hopes they’ll be hosed, theoretically. I frankly don’t know how they made it to this season.

CBA has already been ratified. The only thing that might be up for negotiation is the cap retraction due to coronAIDS.

They are either absolutely fuged or the cap isn't real. Those are the two only scenarios I see.

They also know the NFL wouldn’t dare to risk loosing one of their precious teams during the season. So they would only really be looking at draft & monitory penalties unless the league absolutely gutted their roster for them.

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
