However, if Brees were to retire, the cap does not simply reduce by $25 million. Despite those two void years, if Brees does not play in 2021, the money in those void years accelerates onto the 2021 salary cap. Therefore, the Saints would carry $22.65 million


Oh and Hill is being paid 16ml next year.



Keep reading Winston will be QB next year, he's a FA and can't see him signing for similar money again and how they find a bag of cash to pay him who knows.


Without nothing to show for the past 5 years some of the contracts look worse. A few heavy contracts are going to be like millstones

Winston has been sitting behind Drew and learning the offense for some time. He should be the guy, Hill had a shot and showed he isn’t a legit QB. I think this team could be good with Winston and Hill as a gadget. The problem will be retaining enough good players to be competitive. We are truly in a cap hell unlike we’ve seen before.

Just so you all know... we are 96 million over the cap next year.

We’ll be losing a lot more than just Drew. We may not recognize this next Saints team at all.
