League source confirms that $2.6 million of New Orleans Saints safety Roman Harper's salary was guaranteed last month

My theory is that Harper is cut this year after camp evaluations of the players brought in, and if the FO sees enough to know we already have his replacement.

We cut him and swallow all of the dead money this year, with out replacing, which gives us carry over cap for next year.

That's interesting, I wasn't aware the celery cap worked like that. So any dead money from a player who is not on the roster counts as cap carry-over to the next year? Does that mean we have any extra this year from somebody who we may have still been paying last year?

Close but change celery cap to "unused cap" and your correct. Unused cap is carried over. If we start and finish this season with 4M in unused cap space it is +4M to next years cap.

The dead money is mostly already spent through bonus. And since his dead money this year is very close to his celery, its a wash.

+1. I could see us doing just that.
