Would elevate PJ Williams, Patrick Robinson, or Hurst/Griffin to starters. The last cuts are generally the most painful. Keep in mind that is also the 51 number not the all in number.

All in we have to shed:
-6.3M To get under cap
-4M 6 Draft picks at league minimum
- 2M(est) Practice squad

Still have -14M to go to start the season 1M-2M in the black.

Word is the cap could climb to/past 200M, we desperately need the extra 15M in space that would provide.

Yes, that is what I meant. Oak just curious, do those numbers account for the carryover from last year? I thought I read 2-ish MM brought over from 2020.

Yes they do and the cap carryover from 2020 is roughly 4.1M.

Generally when I post something here I check both Spotrak and Overthecap for the numbers then look for specific names on their roster to see if certain transactions have been accounted for. They both give a (51) and an all in number that accounts for contracts, dead money, carryover etc. I swag practice squad and draft class costs from what i have learned listening to people like Andrew Brandt who an NFL business analyst, and ex VP of the Packers, he is an absolute azzhole but knows his crap. I ignore content from people that make a living making content because they have to speculate to have new content.

Drew's retirement is not factored in because that will not hit the books until 1 June to allow the Saints to split the dead money over this and next year reducing the dead hit to 11,325,000. His cap hit until that time at 12,225,000 meaning his retirement will relieve roughly 900k of cap burden for this year.

Everyone is looking to be under an absolute number and that is not what is going to happen, Loomis needs to start 2021 with cap cushion to account for injuries requiring us to pick up free agents. According to Andrew that number is generally between 2-4M depending on GM.
