Breakdown of Curtis Lofton

we'd have to release Vilma + someone else first and pray that Lofton doesn't back-out of the deal. Not happening...

Unless I'm totally wrong in how I think the salary cap works

I think we can go over the cap right now, we just have to be under it by a certain date, but I don't know what that date is.

I know you had to be under the cap by the start of free agency. Not sure about any other dates. I'd have to look at it.

He agrees to financial terms, someone restructures, release Vilma, sign deal = profit.

Quite a few people who can restructure to give us wiggle room. The Saints just have to ask them.

so if he does want 8-9 million, would he be worth that?

NO. I don't think so. Maybe 5-6, but we can't afford that, especialy with Brees demanding too much.

Not $9M. Ray Lewis only makes $7. He'd be about a $4-$6 IMO. Based on the breakdown I did of him, he's solid. Definitely worth the $6.6M cap hit Vilma would carry.
