New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis did a nice job of guiding the Saints through a tough salary-cap situation this offseason. But Loomis is going to have to do the same thing all over again next year.

...the Saints have a league-high $143.4 million committed toward a 2014 cap that’s expected to be slightly more than $120 million...

The Carolina Panthers are fourth at $128.2 million. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have $118.5 million committed toward next year’s cap...

The Atlanta Falcons are in the best cap shape...But that’s only a temporary (as they're) likely to sign quarterback Matt Ryan to a contract extension...
