Yeah, but as great as it is at times when they announce something like this, this type of a strategy also has a very negative side to it. Pushing most of the big money by restructures to the latter years of players' contract will inevitably create situations like the Saints are now with Smith, where his cap number for next season will be about $14M, and the Saints will end up burning cap room whatever they decide to do with his contract.

I'm not saying I don't approve of Loomis' tactics, just that there are negatives to it, like there are virtually with every tactic you could come up with.
