Now and later

Which is why these moves make no sense unless they were going to trade for a big name this offseason.  Why create cap if you aren't gonna use it?

Remember talking about all that cap space we were gonna have next season?

Remember how it was mentioned that we said the same thing last season?

Looked deeper and we could free up 40 million in cap space with like 4 moves. This is a non-story.

[Waldo]

All to just lose anyways....These people are mostly crap

[amcoolio]

Jacksonville had a poo ton of cap this season and...well...did they really get better?

I used to be a cap space nazi, but not anymore. It's all about drafting right and getting a franchise QB

There is no way that what the saints did this year makes them better off than us next year. 

They are worse next year

NFL football is played in the present, we will worry about next seasons cap next season. Yall do this every year and nothing bad ever really happens. 

That's how it's played, if you are a contender.

We are not.

We will probably hold on to some. And get the can to 2024, then 2025 and so on. Keep on paying off credit cards with credit cards.

[Ricky Spanish]

Does this take into account the rollover we would get if we don't spend anymore of the 30 mil that we have available?

If not, then we would be sitting at 27 million.

you are right, usually rebuild teams have the most space and the contenders have little space. Problem is, we are in the pretender category by ourselves having little space and below average talent/no QB.

Bingo.

If you are a bottom dweller with a terrible cap situation and no long term proven QB....well...that ain't good, it speaks of mismanagement.

I agree and I don’t even care about cap space anymore look at Saints. If u want to do something the team will make it happen

Y’all do know the cap will go up a lot next year right? He said they are expecting to see a big jump with the new tv deals coming in. Calm down

A Shaq and robby anderson release or restructure would free up 25 mill instantly. There are another 3 or 4 obvious cuts that would free up an additional 15 mill, there is also a Taylor Moton restructure next year and several other players totalling an additional 40 million in cap spce.

[TheoJay10]

Who cares, we can restructure again and again until things are done right. The saints have done it for the better part of a decade and have consistently been in the playoffs. I think you guys are at a point now where any and everything is complained about. Give it a rest and relax until the draft, smh. 

[TheCasillas]

Why do we waste our energy on the stuff? Cap flexibility is easy as long as you don’t have a player on your roster eating your 25%+ of your total cap.  See Matt Ryan (falcons this off-season) 
 

these guys know 100x more than any of us… so why sit here and bitch about cap number over a year away when we have no idea what the new cap number will be or how our season / draft plays out.

[SizzleBuzz]

Patience…

…will be rewarded
