If I was a cap guru I'd be working in an NFL front office but what years of following the NFL has taught me is that where there's a will there's a way in regards to the cap.

Seems like get yourself a Loomis and you will always have deep pockets.

Robert Hunt is a top 10 RG when he's healthy.

It makes no sense to have two ultra high priced OG's and Lewis is actually exceptional in run blocking and pass protection. Hunt is basically an exceptional run blocker only.

Lewis is the 9th highest paid Left Guard in the league. I bet it was higher when the deal was done two years ago.

Hunt #3 highest Right Guard  

There is a tab in the upper left portion of the graphic that allows looking at the different positions.

Or in the Saint's case (when they had Brees) - Dead cap and cap space don't exist...

Our number for 2026 is 40,000,000. The 2025 is for this league year which we are carrying over. 
 

Yeah. There are a lot of ways to double that. Go to sport trac or over the cap and mess it with. Can restructure a few of our higher contracts into void years and convert to bonuses. Can also do the same when signing guys. Give them a bonus up front and spread it out. Trust me the Saints go into every season at like -80 million. 
 

I predict we will be in the 80-90 million range when Dan/Brandt are done.
