Saints Notes: Roman Harper, Jonathan Vilma and Will Smith

Dropping Greer is a bad move, only decent CB we have.

IF you cut these guys I think this is the break down, or close to the minus to CAP, and what it cost in 2014. Correct if wrong, so we can be somewhat accurate.

LB Scott Shanle -$2.25
Sedrick Ellis -$7.6
Will Smith -$6.6 + $3.4 added to 2014 cap ( worst signing ever, cut)
Jon Vilma -$4.7 + $1.3 added to 2014 cap ( may be cut )
Roman Haper -$4.1 + $2.0 add to 2014 cap ( please cut )
Brodrick Bunkly -$2.9 +$1.8 add to 2014 cap ( might have been a bad signing, but probably restructures or cut)
Malcolm Jenkins -$3.15 + $750,000 add to 2014 cap (?)
David Hawthorne -$3.3 +$1.5 add to 2014 cap ( maybe restructured )
Curtis Lofton -$5.1 + $2.0 add to 2014 cap ( ?)
Jabari Greer -$3.4 +$2.0 add to 2014 cap (?)
Jon Casillas -$1.25
Turk Mcbride -$1

Its around 16-17 million I thought. If you cut Ellis, Shanle, Smith, Harper, and Vilma or Bunkly, you have wiggle room. Or restructure some, and a bunch of 1 million dollars guys on the roster to $600,000. Loomis will figure it out.

ESPN's John Clayton, one of the best in the business at crunching salary-cap numbers, projects the Saints at $16.1 million over the cap next year. And after the Saints back-loaded so many of their new and restructured contracts this past offseason, I did a breakdown that showed the combined salary-cap figures of 10 of their highest-priced players will leap from $37.1 million this year to $85.4 million next year.

So even if the Saints release expensive veterans like Will Smith, Jonathan Vilma and David Hawthorne and choose not to re-sign free agents like Sedrick Ellis, Scott Shanle and Turk McBride, they still won't be able to afford many high-priced replacements."

	Saints proved that pigs could fly in 2009. Now its time for another miracle SuperBowl and go where no pig has gone before. Last edited by pherein; 02-14-2013 at 10:19 AM..
