Dead Cap situation in the next few years

After closer examination, it appears the dead cap for the players in the secondary take up a significant portion of the dead cap. It very likely the reason Ceedy was traded since they didn't want to tender what Ceedy wanted them to.

We're still cap strapped in the next couple of years, the result of the previous contracts, including Mr. Glass himself, Terron Armstead... and Drew Brees of course. Yes, the cap is going up. Nonetheless the cap is the cap. Why did they then restructure Vannett's contract today?

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

I think they might try to make a move.

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Exactly... a LT comes to mind? :bugeyes:

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Right. Maybe a LB or a TE.

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Wait, oh damn Roach to IR?

He had a good camp & pre season.

I’d love to bring back Malcolm Brown. He was SOLID in New Orleans.

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Yep I thought Roach has been a solid rotational player. Agree on Brown if he's out there.
