OH MAN! This would be a great FA pickup.

I would imagine that Grant and Bush will be victims, but not really sure what they would get from a new team. My interpretation is the Saints can go after someone for the same salary or less once the guys who are cut actually sign with a new team. Like I said, I will need to further study this wacky issue.

Basically , we can only sign one for the same money we lose one for.

Since I see no big money Saints free-agents leaving, I can't see us signing any big name guys.

And we can't sign any until after ours sign somewhere else. It may be the final week of free-agency before any of our guys sign elsewhere. By then all the top free-agents will be gone.
