Thanks Lofton for caring about our team with the cap situation. Looks like Loomis is working his freaky voodoo magic again!

Moving the problems couple of years forward, but nevertheless, this is what is needed at the moment to get under the cap and free up some money to sign FAs.

Of course he's willing to make the change. It cost him nothing to do so.

Creative Accounting strikes again.

Well it cost him a five million dollar bonus this year and spreads it out over the rest of the contract... I'd say it's respectable of him. Most players want their money now.

He gets the 5 million immediately. The team gets to spread the cap hit for the bonus over 5 years.

Benson just wrote him a 5 million dollar check which was deposited into Mr Loftons checking account before the ink dried.

And we can get 15 million more by giving Brees, Grubbs and Evans the same type of "advance".

Re: Saints restructure Lofton's deal

Thanks Danno... I'll admit I don't understand all of the in's and out's of these restructure deals so I'm a little ignorant in regard to that. I apologize to Xan, you were right and I tried to correct you. Either way, "All Hail Loomis!"
