Cap space update

[Mr. Scot]

Remember you have to allow for around 7 million or so (if I remember correctly) for draft picks, plus some for transactions during the season.

Basically, we've got nada.

Bridgewater will be gone soon

$7M sounds right, and right now we have about $10M.  While that is cutting it close, we also have 4 times as much as the rest of our division.......combined.

Saints won’t be about to sign draft picks. With there current amount. Lol

Some names to look at post draft for additional cap relief based on positions drafted:

(Numbers rounded for a quick summary)

Justin Burris - 4.8M cap hit / 1M in dead money = 3.8M cap available to create

Frankie Luvu - 1M cap hit / 180K in dead money = just under 1M

Cutting / trading TB would free up 2M in cap = around 2M

Extending a guy like Donte' or even Robbie would also create some additional relief

I could see Burris being the easiest to move on from if we draft a Safety high enough:

Chinn / Rookie / - Depth - Franklin / Hartsfield

Could also see TB traded as we CAN afford to keep him, no value in a straight release

Teddy frees up 2.9 million at the least and 17.9 million at most depending on whether he's traded or cut and when.

Good catch. This is $3.55 million more space. This puts us better than average in cap space most likely (I'm not researching every teams Jun 1 cap designations) and better than the mean.

Funny the Saints,Falcon and Bucs are at the bottom of the list with less than 1m apiece. I hope they stay there for years to come...
