Projected salary cap ceiling. Other than last year the final cap number, due in February, has almost always come out a tad higher than the projection from over a half year prior. Hopefully this proves true again.

The NFL and NFLPA agreed to set the ceiling at $208.2 million. I’m pretty sure that’s it.

Honestly, should Marcus Williams even want to sign long-term with the Saints? Now that Brees is gone and our roster’s being squeezed by salary cap restraints this year and next are we really even contenders?

We are about to see, aren't we? I expect we will be contenders.

If no deal is agreed in principle and the season isn't going well and looking at the interior line for 6 games it won't be, I'd trade him at the deadline for a pick next year. No point in waiting two years for a 3rd round at best if any pick.

If he balls out this year we're going to have a tough time re-signing him.

We can sign anyone we want. Simply back load a contract with plenty of guarantees. The first year could be minimal against the cap and Loomis commonly uses roster bonuses in subsequent years. The cap is going to continue to explode over the next several years.
