Agreed, I think it would take more than I’d like to give up to acquire him, just thought it was interesting that they’d move him.

So you're saying we would need to give up Michael Thomas, Eric McCoy & possibly Taysom Hill in order to acquire Henry

?

Yes! And throw in three firsts as well to sweeten the deal!

Several quality players are getting released because of the way their caps are managed. Releasing players is their way of creating cap space. The Saints, and now several other teams, structure the contracts in a way to keep those players AND create cap space. Personally I'd rather keep good players WHILE being able to add free agents.
