So we severed a player to make cap space at the cost of 2M in dead money and now we want to bring him back at league minimum adding another million to the cap hit??

Think that through please Gents, why would the league or Morestead go for that?

You cant just cut and re-sign at a lower salary to clear cap. This season is not an option for Morestead and the Saints.
