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

Jesus at that dead money.

Good point about Taysom making 16million. I could see another team offering Winston a solid contract we won't be able to match

Mike Thomas' contract is a big issue

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.

Problem is Hill is under contract and Winston isn't.
Roughly 95ml in the red and even if you split Brees cap over two years, cut Armstead, Jenkins, Alexander, Sanders, Murray, Robinson you are still $26ml over the projected cap. Though I'm sure they have other work arounds

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.

That’s what I said. 5 or more years until the playoffs. Build the offense around Kamara, Thomas, and our young receivers. Say goodbye to players like Jordan and several others on defense. I expect them to find a way to keep T-Rex in that number but we are gonna lose a lot of people we are fond of.

Just BRUTAL. My Wife had just started sitting with me and my Saints on Christmas... Kamara lighting it up like a Christmas Tree... And then this happened today? Typical Brutal Saints (non) Finish... Bye Drew. THANK YOU for your Service though. Sorry for the whine and cheese guys.

Can you imagine what they are thinking? Feeling? Not the kids because they really do not know.


It will be interesting to see Brees move on to life after football on rhe gield that is.

I can't imagine Hendrickson coming back next year. Teams will throw money his way no doubt.

There will be a ton of restructuring deals but this team will look different next year.

The window is officially closed.
