CBS Sports Article Points Out Saints 2014 Salary Cap Challenge
Agent's Take: Worst salary caps? Cowboys, Saints, Steelers lead way - CBSSports.com
2. New Orleans Saints Salary cap overage: $16,653,767 Adjusted salary cap: $126,944,911 The Saints can make significant headway with their cap situation by releasing 32-year-old Will Smith, who is missing the season with a torn ACL. His release will take $11.55 million off the books. Safety Roman Harper was a rumored cap casualty in the offseason and $2.18 million of cap space will be created if the Saints part ways with him before his $650,000 roster bonus is due on the third day of the league year (March 13)... |

Re: CBS Sports Article Points Out Saints 2014 Salary Cap Challenge
In the offseason I remember hearing Paul Kruger almost signed with the Saints before signing with the Browns, imagine how horrid that cap would be. However that would be a scary front seven!

Re: CBS Sports Article Points Out Saints 2014 Salary Cap Challenge
Drew Brees has the largest cap number on the team at $18.4 million. His contract wasn't restructured this year and may be left alone again to avoid increasing his $26.4 million 2015 cap number.
remember this statement because i have a feeling when the FA market opens we need to post this response 100,000 times. the only way i know to get around the deal is to make a completely new deal. anyone got any other tid bits of knowledge on this topic? You have that and then there is the list of fA we need to deal with/replace in 2014 Malcolm Jenkins Jonathan Vilma Zach Strief Brian De La Puente Jimmy Graham Parys Haralson Charles Brown Tom Johnson Robert Meachem Kenyon Coleman Will Herring Ramon Humber Isa Abdul-Quddus Joseph Morgan Rafael Bush Jed Collins Luke McCown Bryce Harris Keyunta Dawson Trevin Wade Edit away but if you thought last season was fun you have not seen a thing yet. i still say the best way around a cap issue is deal with in the draft. trade and get picks for younger cheaper talent. cheaper being the prime word here. Pats have been doing it for years and getting away with it. even this year they survived. live watch and learn. this will be a blast in 2014 |

Resign Strief, Collins, Haralson, and Rafael Bush. Do whatever needs to be done to keep Graham. If that means tagging him, so be it.
Wouldn't mind to see the rest leave. |

As far as your list IMO, Vilma is gone as a player, although he could be hired as a coach, Meachem is released, decent chance BDLP is gone as well. |

Re: CBS Sports Article Points Out Saints 2014 Salary Cap Challenge
Long list, but not nearly as bad as it looks.
Some guys will go, some tendered, some will have decide if they want to Saints, or take $200K more somewhere else: Collins, McCown, Humber, etc. We are not an old team, except for (gasp) Drew, so we will be a contender again next year, and these guys who occupy roster spots 45-53 will have to make a decision Strief is a must sign, Graham will likely get tagged, and DLP, Brown, Meachem and Harris are cheap Jenkins? who knows? nothing would surprise me |

Some of you think Graham will just get tagged but which tag is the real question IMO.

Re: CBS Sports Article Points Out Saints 2014 Salary Cap Challenge
I dont think Graham does get tagged,it will be cheaper to give him a deal with a decent signing bonus and push the money back a year or two
