Rookie allocations is part of your cap, so it's included in the total cap figure. So really, if we signed our rookies at the alotted amount, we'd have about 8 point something mil still in cap room, give or take depending on if that 14.5 mil figure is still correct. Pretty damn good with noone to sign.

Don't hold out hope for a lot of big names come June 1st...teams are in much better shape when it comes to the cap now that you arent going to see a lot of potential starters get cut.

I say use some of that extra money to start locking up some of our own players long term...Charles Grant, Stallworth? Hilton?...those 3 will be free agents at the end of the year so if they figure into the saints plans, they should spend the money while they have it.

I think we recently extended Hilton.
At this point, yeah, I'd like to see us keep Grant. Stallworth needs to have a big year this year or I'd say let him walk. If there's no one out there worth spending that money on we'll have it for next year to spend on a better player than what's available now. |
