Saints Re-Sign K John Kasay...

Wow. I wonder if Hartley could be gone, to free up more money for Brees? Hartley's salary is $700,000, he counts $1.2 million against the cap because of his contract...but if Kasay can come in and kick for league minimum, say, $280,000 or $300,000, that's quite a bit of $$$ freed up for Drew... Not saying that's what IS happening, but it's certainly possible. We'll see. With this new Brees contract, our days of luxury like having two kickers on the roster to switch when one gets hot or cold, those days are almost certainly going to be over.

League minimum salary is controlled by the CBA and for Kasay, with his tenure, is approximately $925,000 in 2012.
