OK, So Who Do You Cut?

xan · 05-29-2012, 05:46 PM

Ok, so I've seen all your rants about how we have to sign Drew now. Salary cap being what it is, and only $2.3million under, assuming Brees signs the Tag, let's play Mickey Loomis for a day.

Who do you let go to make room?

Remember,
-You have to leave some cap space to fill injury voids.
-You can cut some people, but their salaries may be, at least partially, applied to the cap.
-Vilma's salary space is not a given, as his appeal may be successful, then you're screwed. - Cutting him would trigger salary against the cap.
-You have to have 53 players (CBA)

POS First Second Third Other
QB Drew Brees Chase Daniel
FB Jed Collins Korey Hall
RB Pierre Thomas Darren Sproles Mark Ingram
WR1 Marques Colston Lance Moore Adrian Arrington
WR1 Devery Henderson Courtney Roby
TE Jimmy Graham David Thomas
LT Jermon Bushrod Charles Brown
LG Brian de la Puente
C Brian de la Puente Matt Tennant
RG Jahri Evans Brian de la Puente
RT Zach Strief Charles Brown
LDE Turk McBride Cameron Jordan
NT Aubrayo Franklin Shaun Rogers
DT Sedrick Ellis Tom Johnson
RDE Will Smith Jeff Charleston
SLB Will Herring Martez Wilson
MLB Jonathan Vilma Jo-Lonn Dunbar Ramon Humber
WLB Scott Shanle Jonathan Casillas
LCB Jabari Greer
SS Roman Harper Jonathon Amaya
FS Malcolm Jenkins Isa Abdul-Quddus
RCB Patrick Robinson Johnny Patrick
K John Kasay
P Thomas Morstead
LS Justin Drescher
H Chase Daniel Thomas Morstead
PR Darren Sproles Lance Moore
KR Darren Sproles Courtney Roby
KO Thomas Morstead

Good luck.

Love ya Xan, but this roster doesn't look accurate. Start with JV if need be.

If Brees hits pay dirt I see a big revolving door of releasing and re-signing players every week. That is going to be one daunting task. If they create W's with whatever formula they use it's going to be an amazing story.

Loomis

Abacus

Contract

Harmony will ensue

Damn, was that a haiku???

Justin Drescher.......Drew can long snap.

Cut Drew and our cap woes are over.

The Dude · 05-29-2012, 11:54 PM

Better yet lets cut everyone and fill the roster with UDFA's. the highest paid player will earn 500k per year and then someone will still yell how he is crippling the team.

Scott Shanle and sedrick Ellis can go first, that would free up some space, possibly JV after a while

Cruize · 05-30-2012, 07:36 AM

D. Thomas, Herring, Shanle, Roby, and W. Smith.
