Either $110ml over 5 years or $132ml over 6.
I think that 5 year figure is just about right.

Re: Saints March 1st cap status

the fact flacco got paid so much is a joke... you ask even Raven fans and they'll tell you that.. He is not elite in my book..However its a good thing for us because Brees's contract will now be less than our NFC counter-parts like Ryan and Rogers to name a few. The high salaries of these players will hurt those teams even more.

Flacco has one good season surrounded by talent and a good D... I think we got off cheap with Brees now lol

The QB salaries are getting to a point wher teams might be starting to look for a decent guy that can get you there but won't be elite and break the bank. Oh that was Flacco....

If you think about it Bress' contract set the new market for Qb's therefore its just going to go up and up everytime a new "elite" Qb comes around. Which could in effect hurt other team's bottom line making it harder to get talent because of how much cap room they take up....

But with that said....if the cap is going to make a major jump like they say in 2015 because the TV money kicks in it might not hurt as much......

Probably won't hurt as much for us either...especially if Brees does restructure next offseason...pushing the high cap numbers into the years where the cap jump will give us much needed relief...or make it less of a hassle to get under when we need to.

Cap scheduled to escalate significantly (more so than recent escalations) in 2015. Just in time for Matty Fleice to kill the Falcons in 2014.

Flacco's deal in a nutshell is Drew Brees's deal plus a dollar!!!!
