Saints March 1st cap status
 

NFL Cap for 2013 is $123M

Saints active contracts $132m
Dead money 836k
2012 cap rollover 2.7 m
Top 51 = 128M


present cap status $126.2m

Approx Delta -3.2m over

Not too bad with Vilma/Smith having new deals offered and Harper big numbers easily changed.
Only worry is we need 5/7ml for a LT.
Might be able to make room for a LT and hopefully a good FA or two if the new deals are low enough.

We still have a little ways to go before 12 March to get the Top 51 under the cap, then we have to keep it there through the draft and free agency.. not out of the woods yet, although we can see the tree line finally.

thanks for putting this up. I'm assuming this still reflects Vilma, Smith and Harper?

Got 30.2ml wrapped up in Vilma,Smith and Harper.
Shouldn't even be paying half of that.

Thanks for the info Oak!

And they probably won't .... maybe they will restructure Brees next year.

Re: Saints March 1st cap status
 

IMHO Vilma and Harper are irritations, Smith is like a big fat armor plated bloated mosquito. If Smith has a season like 2009 then he will just be a medium mosquito...

More than anyone else on the team he has a huge delta between his contract and his performance value.

Did anyone see the latest slough of FAs released?
