Here's the Saints tough conversion to 3-4. They have Wlll Smith, C. Chamberlain, K Coleman and V. Butler out for the season. Cap cost $11.6M

He is only partially right; Butler may make it back after the bye week.

From all I have read, I am not getting my hopes up on Butler's return. Then what if Vilma cannot return...the $11.6 goes even higher.

We won't miss Will Smith.

vpheughan · 08-27-2013, 07:22 PM

Chamberlain was a great sign!

We should have cut our losses with smith and Vilma.... It pains me to say it but it is showing true at least at this moment

Doh, Bart!

With the amount of players getting ACL injuries they need to do something about both looking into the sudden increase of the injury,i have my thoughts why.Also if teams should receive cap relief when players miss the season with injuries.

This is a big topic for potential discussion in the NFL but one, that without proper thought process (that's me giving myself a backout clause) sounds very sensible.

I mean you will always have people say that teams will then fake injuries to get cap relief or some other such conspiracy but it seems fair to offer some sort of proportion back if only a gesture.

Say for example, an NFL approved doctor with no team ties has to perform the diagnosis and if someone is truly out for a season then you get a percentage of their cap hit back. You could even only make that 20-30% which is then not a reason for sending down a massive player on purpose.

Hmmmm. Food for thought.
