2014 Pro Days: Combine-snub Ben Gardner surprise star at Stanford - CBSSports.com
While lacking his teammate's recognition, Josh Mauro is a classic 5-technique defensive end who also helped his cause in Thursday's workout. The well-built Mauro showed off his commitment, adding nine pounds and eight reps in the bench press Thursday from his Combine showing. On Thursday he measured in at 6-foot-6, 280 pounds and lifted the bar 29 times. Mauro tweeked his hamstring during shuttle drills but gutted out the rest of his positional workout, turning heads along the way. Mauro strength and toughness could make him a "surprise" top 64 candidate. |

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
ok lets look at the draft from a different view point. next years cap and players that will be making a major hit on it,
The big BUCKS: Drew Brees $18.4 million to $26.4 million ($10.3 million roster bonus) Jairus Byrd $3.5 million to $10.3 million ($6 million roster bonus) Serious CAP causality candidates Linebackers Curtis Lofton $7 million (performance and workout bonus ) David Hawthorne 4.5 million (2.5 million roster bonus) Victor Butler is an UFA Solution Round 3 - Christian Jones ILB/OLB Florida ST. 6031 240 4.74 Round 4 - Max Bullough, ILB/OLB Michigan St 6034 249 4.78 Round 6 - Howard Jones, OLB/ILB, Shepherd 6025 235 4.60 Top UDFA Caleb Lavey, ILB, Oklahoma St 6021 235 4.64 2013 DRAFT: Rufus Johnson DE/OLB Tarleton State 6052 272 4.75 UFA Patrick Robinson, Rafael Bush one of them should be back hint hint Round 5 Dontae Johnson, DB, NC State 6021 200 4.45 Round 5 Walt Aikens, CB, Liberty 6005 203 4.47 Top UDFA CB Brandon Dixon (NW Missouri State) 5114 203 4.41 Mark Ingram will be UFA so We have been down this road before Plus you got 2 picks left round 1 and 2.  Round 1 Round 2 Round 3 Christian Jones ILB/OLB Florida ST. 6031 240 4.74 Round 4 Max Bullough, ILB/OLB Michigan St 6034 249 4.78 Round 5 Dontae Johnson, DB, NC State 6021 200 4.45 Round 5 Walt Aikens, CB, Liberty 6005 203 4.47 Round 6 Howard Jones, OLB/ILB, Shepherd 6025 235 4.60 Top UDFA Caleb Lavey, ILB, Oklahoma St 6021 235 4.64 Brandon Dixon CB NW Missouri State 5114 203 4.41 LB corp in camp would be killer secondary would be just as fun to watch. results better depth and possibility to replace from the bench instead of FA. Also the special teams would get a major shot in the arm. |

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
Will cost you 8m in cap space to make these guys casualties
Lofton - 5M in dead money Hawthorne - 3m in dead money Where do you see a 10.3m Roster bonus for Drew Brees? Drew has no roster bonus. |

Re: 2014 NFL Draft
oppss forgot link
Analyzing Saints' salary-cap future - New Orleans Saints Blog - ESPN Drew Brees Salary Cap, Contracts, Salaries, Cap Hits, & News Profile Jairus Byrd Salary Cap, Contracts, Salaries, Cap Hits, & News Profile Curtis Lofton Salary Cap, Contracts, Salaries, Cap Hits, & News Profile David Hawthorne Salary Cap, Contracts, Salaries, Cap Hits, & News Profile even with the dead hit you will be making 7 million in caps space even then who said to get rid of them? all i am doing is looking to draft down the road and what area would improve the most in this years draft. right now we have moved around the dead money issue pretty well. we have no dead cap money so far according to the article under neith the figures is a break down of money involved in the contracts as a whole for drew such as $22 million in incentive guarantees it is in these things that the bonus money in the contract numbers above come from. it is not all laid out so we get the full break down. |

I fully understand the spotrac layout and numbers. There is no roster bonus. 22m in incentive guarantees is for the 6 year life span of his contract.... And it is important to note that an "incentive guarantee", is not a bonus, that money is already counted, it just becomes guaranteed after a certain date. In 2015 Drews Contract is a 26.4m cap hit. 18.75m in Salary, 7.4m proration of his signing bonus which he has already been paid, 250k of miscellaneous bonus. What is not written is what parts become guaranteed on what date. You can get the layout here, but notice there is no roster bonus of 10.3m. There is no reference to that anywhere I can find on the net which is why I asked where you found that number. http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcsouth/pos...rew-brees-deal We have moved zero dead money. Dead money doesn't move, I am not sure which article you are reading but spotrac shows this season we have 13.7m in dead cap space. It shows nothing for 2015 because we haven't gotten past 2014 yet. The only way we would have ANY dead money on the 2015 books right now is if we designated any of the cut players as "post June 1st cuts", we are allowed two and what that does is spread the dead money over two seasons, 2014 and 2015. Look for dead money on the bottom of the 2014 cap page, I attached a screen shot.  http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-orleans-saints/cap-hit/ |
