Re: Free agents 2014

i have dampened my emotions on fA. Jimmy has early reports in that he played over 60% of his snaps standing up as a WR. That is huge. now we are talking a tag of over $10 million. he becomes a WR.

If this is true the draft will have to be huge for the saints.

so what waterboy out there do you think we should go after?

Re: Free agents 2014

I do not see him playing under the tag.
there will be arguments both sides on what position he needs to be tagged under.He will be signed to a long term deal or be traded imo.A WR tag is far too high for us to pay

Re: Free agents 2014

So we currently have an estimated salary cap space of
$5,182,990usd.

» Over the Cap- New Orleans Saints 2014 Salary Cap and Contracts

New Orleans Saints Salary Cap - 2014 Breakdown

To retain Graham, we might have to cut the following players to get under the cap:

RB Darren Sproles $3,500,000
RB Pierre Thomas $2,300,000
WR Lance Moore $2,531,250

And have room to sign our restricted free agents, mainly S Rafael Bush...

Know he's looked at as the Golden Calf, but why not designate him with the non-exclusive option and see if a team is willing to give up two first round picks?!?

We could solidify the offensive line in free agency with that money and have a number of options available at Tight End in the draft...

Damn, The contracts of Grubbs, Lofton have been huge mistakes...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Re: Free agents 2014

John Clayton says the salary cap is now expected to be around $132 million... A little more than the report from a few days ago!
