Re: Saints facing a cap mess in 2013
I'm not worried about our cap for 2013. Drew will restructure his base salary of 17.4 million to get more guaranteed. This year the Giants restructured Eli's deal so he was only making 1.75 million base and the rest is guaranteed for 2012. Drew will still get the same amount of money, it will just be more in guaranteed. Players love guaranteed money and this helps our cap. Let's say Drew does something similar to Eli and takes a base of 2 million then he gets 15.4 million guaranteed. That frees up 15.4 million of our cap. There you go, that's almost all of the 16 million the article talks about. Expect Drew and the Saints to rework his deal each year, he'll keep on lowering his base salary to make more guaranteed. This is just an article trying to stir the pot. This is GM 101, Mickey knows this and we'll be fine.
