Solid contract, we’re gonna be swimming in cap space after this season.

Agreed. If we find a better option in the next two drafts or elsewhere, it should be a pretty trade-friendly contract too.

Great structure. Easy out after year 2 (only 1.8 million dead cap) and little cap hit this year. Btw how do we get these contract details but still have not seen anything on shaq’s new deal???

Essentially a 2 year deal with a nice cap number this season. Didn’t know much about this dude but apparently he’s good against the run. Panthers defense has been horrible against the run since 2018 after Star left and Short got old

I can only assume Shaq’s deal isn’t finalized yet. Maybe we’re waiting to see how much we actually spend in FA to see how much of his salary we need to convert to bonus.

I'm curious if they see him as NT or end in the 3-4 base. Has there been anything said about this? I suppose we will hear more in the next week

 

I'm a McCall homer and would love to see a 3 man front of Brown/McCall/Tuttle

I think they see him as a NT primarily in 3-4 or DT in 4-3. 

Brayvion Roy actually played quite well last year and can play NT also. Both are good run stoppers.

Henry Anderson (guy who had mini stroke last year) is also good against the run and can play DE in a 3-4. Not sure if he's under contract though

I won't be surprised to see YGM traded. I definitely sense more trades.

He'll fit right in because our run defense stunk last year compared to previous years, LOL.

2022 Saints defense vs. rush: 25th (attempts), 24th (yards), 14th (TD's), 20th (YPC)
2022 Panthers defense vs. rush: 23rd (attempts), 18th (yards), 21st (TD's), 12th (YPC)

We gave up 316 rushing yards to y'all last year and the Falcons went for 200+ in both games.

With Tuttle being 6'3" 300, he projects to being a 3-4 Defensive end. You need a mammoth (McCall) at NT because all they are gonna see is double teams and they have to be stout at point of attack. They have to be able to force a double team to keep your inside linebackers free.

I know he was considered a NT in their 4-3 and maybe he's just got the technique and strength to play it in 3-4 but I agree. He does seem to project better to end.

Tuttle played around 320 last year according to the team website and they confirmed he will be our new NT

Here’s Vonn’s contract breakdown 

They’re accounting for 20 mill combined next season. Vonn will get restructured if he performs well for sure. 

Not a fan of Tuttle’s deal at all. 10 mill for a mediocre rotational piece isn’t ideal
