The deal is not expected to cause any salary-cap problems for the Saints in 2012.

And the team could easily structure his long-term deal in a way that keeps his cap figure the same or lower.link back

Sounds like Mickey may be able to afford Graham now.

Best thing that's happened to this organization since we won our last playoff game. Heck, we lost to San Fran and I was stoked about this season!!!!

Yes! Best news for a long time! Now we can move on and get ready for next season and the following seasons also. That's a good feeling to have!

GEAUX SAINTS!

Can Brees go for 6000 yards this year? A five year contract means we'll need a replacement in the wings around year three of this contract. Any good QB's in college on the horizon?

But yeah, 5 years for sure and likely longer.
