So, are you just listing base salaries? Because some of those cats are making a lot more when you add in the miscellaneous bonuses they receive also.

For example, Will Smith: 2012, $5.36M; 2013, $14.54M; and 2014, $13.94M.

Those are the type of contracts that are making the re-tooling of the defensive personnel very difficult, and it was Loomis himself who re-negotiated and restructured Smith's contract this offseason. That ended up being a bad decision as the Saints had plenty of cap space, so Smith's old contract would've fit under the salary cap without any problems, and he wouldn't have gotten some of the pay increases that were included in the restructured contract, and the 2014 season would've stayed as an optional year.
