Saints are carrying the most dead money in the NFL
 

One of the results of remaking your roster on the fly is that teams accumulate a good amount of dead money. And in New Orleans’ case, it equates to a $21.7 million hit.

The number is the biggest in the NFL. It became inflated in recent weeks with Jimmy Graham ($9 million in dead money), Ben Grubbs ($6 million), Curtis Lofton ($5 million), and Pierre Thomas ($830,000) leaving town. The hit will clear next season and become available cap space.

banking cap? i guess. i was surprised we were eating all of this dead road kill with out trying to flip over first to a better contract. kind of hand ties us.

20 million for 2016? to early to escalators in players' contracts.

Cam Newton QB CAR

That's why I don't post 'In Loomis we trust"...

I've learned to place my trust in God...
