I don't know how the Saints and Eagles are gonna pull it off. He Saints always find a way, but damn they're ridiculously into the red. The Eagles need to bench Wentz to get a look at Hurts but they're stuck with him and his massive cap hit next year either way so I understand why they're wrestling with that decision.

NO can save $20 million by cutting Brees.  So if he retires, they are halfway there.  They will still be $50 million over but that is better than $75 million over.

Atlanta is really more of a problem than you think.  They really don't have anyone they can cut and that $6 million over number is with like 35 players on the roster.

Right. They can part ways with Brees and STILL be $50M over. They're in a real pickle.

June 1st Drew Brees and Cameron Jordan

Cut Janoris Jenkins, Kwon Alexander, and Nick Easton.

Extend Ramccyk and Lattimore so that their cap hit goes to $5m next year.

Done

And if need be I can restructure some other guys and find another $20m easily.

People act like Loomis is some genius but its really not that hard. 

So basically they let some of their older guys go, resign some of their young cornerstones, and then in 2022 the are back to decent cap space.  I'm sure they planned for the first year without Brees to be a reset year anyway.

So, you completely gut your roster. Yeah, they can get under the cap but what are they going to be left with as a roster?

Jordan and Brees are arguably their most important players so it's not that easy if they want to compete next year.

Let's face it, the last 2 seasons have shown that New Orleans can win without Brees.  It is time to let him go.  Where to make the other cuts?  Not as easy.  Carolina is in much better shape.  I still think the Panthers are not letting Moton walk, unless the decision is emotional and not financial.  Who knows how Marty has screwed up the relationship.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
