Where's the money coming from?
 

We got plenty visits scheduled for this weekend
Lofton LB
David Hawthorne
Joel Dreesen TE(TEXANS )
Brisel OL ( Texans )
Winston OL( Texans )

The same way money came from last year.

Loomis doing work.

One thing that Loomis has been consistently great at with the Saints is structuring contracts in a creative way as to not take up a ton of cap room.

It's going to be a busy weekend. Payton and company need to rest up.

Hawthrone that's who I want.

We get Younger and more stout at the linebacker positions this team gon be hard to deal with Lofton and Hawthorne for me.

can we afford signing 2 LBs? Even if we release Vilma we gotta be getting close to the cap and we still have Drew long term to worry about?

What a business season this has been. Talk of Johnny (THE HIT MAN) Vilma being let go.

Ellis, Vilma, Shanle, Herring = 11 million.

Lofton before Hawthorne. Bring in both and I will be more than satisfied!!

As long is it is not coming from my account... I really dont care.

I believe the Saints have bought the DeBartolo Sports Money Management Program for 4 easy payments of $49.98 + shipping and processing

I think there's a Saints tax on Gasoline which is where some of the money is coming from. It's less than a penny a gallon, but it adds up. LOL

Restructure Ellis' contract, if he's unwilling, give him the boot. The rest should probably just go. As much as I love vilma and all he's done for us, it just doesn't look like its in the cards for him to stay. Unless he gets away without a lengthy suspension and is willing to restructure as well. Seems clear they wanna get younger at lb though and I don't see him being cool with a diminished role here when some other team will probably be willing to overpay for his services and give him a starting gig.. as for shanle, I've been in his corner since he got here. I respect his tenacity and that he has given us his all, but if the ol tank wasn't already running low, surely it is by now. As I've said before though I'd like to see him stick around in some sort of coaching role.. herring was a disappointment, get rid of him, nuff said.

Talk to the Special Man.... Let 'em have it!

Hey we can **** can Drew and save millions. Lets replace him with Jamarcus Russel. Hes bound to have some gas left in the tank.

:lolup:Wait for it Waiiittt forrrr iiiittttt in 3 2 1

Ok lets get steve McNair then. He will bury opposing teams.

Low Blow 15 yds!

Thank you thank you Ill be here all week. Try the veal its wonderful!

Just saying the dude is dead man!
Fried veal cutlets:hungry:

You ask "Where's the money coming from"? Very easy, it is coming from the future.

Right now the Saints are still legit Super Bowl contenders. At this point Loomis is wise to keep pushing the cap dollars back as far as he can. Eventually, the price needs to be paid. Give it about 2 seasons and the Saints will have to go into a full rebuild mode.

I know this is an older thread. When I saw this it made me think of Steve McNair. HE was a great man is greatly missed.

"where is the money coming from?"

It is pretty obvious -- the Saints are preparing for massive suspensions on defense, and if they are signed, some of those new guys will be paid by money that is NOT being paid to suspended players. I would not be surprised at all, if there are massive sweeping cuts of players on defense this off season, a huge house-cleaning, cutting the players who may be facing long unproductive suspensions next season; and then signing their replacements with more "cap friendly" contracts (bonuses, delayed payments, etc) and just eating the cap hits of the people who got cut, but not paying the salaries. At least that's how I interpret it. I think the Saints may have an idea of who is going to be suspended, but not for how long. And now that they saw what happened to Payton with the harsh penalties (entire year) they are probably looking at re-tooling the whole defense, bracing for long suspensions of players far worse than what they might have anticipated from Goodell previously. They will probably have to part ways with some of them.

From the left over funds in the Bounty pool.:doh:

There should be plenty left then...

No Doubt!!! LOL

Well, look on the bright side. On a positive note, Roman Harper will probably be suspended for the year too so we'll get some better play there.:mrgreen:
