Believe it or not, I am not a total idiot. I know how to read the salary cap chart.

If the Saints want Grubbs to restructure they have all the leverage in the world. He can do it this offseason, or get cut next offseason; we gain $4m on the 2015 cap and he loses the $22m remaining on his sweetheart contract.

And I think we all know that based on his performance he wouldn't make a third of what he's getting now looking for a new deal with some other team in 2015. We've seen each of the last two offseasons, big name vets with declining performance don't get cut any slack in the free agent market.

If Grubbs likes playing for the Saints and he likes $20 million dollars, he will restructure his deal, plain and simple. To be clear, I like Grubbs alright. Pretty good dude, pretty good player. But he's making elite guard money and he is nowhere near being an elite guard anymore. He's just not worth that contract, especially on a team that routinely plucks o-line starters in the 4th and 5th rounds of the draft.

The "must" re-signs on this team are Graham, Bush...

Bring back in role at current pay rate guys are Collins, Meachem, Harris, Humber, Graham...

Doubts about returning are RBs Thomas, Sproles, Strief, DLP...

Doubts about returning list would be a killer. one or two maybe but all 4 dam

*Free Agents Saints Should Target

I would say add Sam Shields (CB from Green Bay) to that list too. He is very underrated and Lewis + Shields (with Corey White as slot CB) would be amazing.
