Eagles want 3rd round pick for Jackson. Someone with enough cap room will pull the trigger.

Titans cut Rob Bironas. Do we have the cap to get in on this action?

Re: Free agents 2014
Charles Brown visiting Giants....I am sure many will disagree but I thought he was pretty decent last year. Right up until that one Rams game I think most of the people here were satisfied with his performance.

One more contract restructure and we resign DLP. You guys think DLP was subpar, well do you really want a rookie taking his spot?! A rookie may have a better physical skill set but I don't trust a rookie's mind to call out protections of Brees.

Well Chris, keep in mind that DLP unseated Olin Kreutz despite Kreutz' resume and reputation... Colston started as a rookie wide receiver... It really depends on the player, coaching, situation... |

Re: Free agents 2014
Analyzing Saints' salary-cap future - New Orleans Saints Blog - ESPN
As for Jordan, the Saints are expected to exercise a fifth-year option on the Pro Bowl defensive end this spring that will likely cost somewhere between $6 and $8.5 million for a one-year deal in 2015. If they exercise that option, Jordan can't become a free agent until 2016. Big decisions: Linebackers Curtis Lofton and David Hawthorne are both scheduled to receive big roster bonuses in 2015 that could force the Saints to make a decision on their status. Lofton has a roster bonus of $4.5 million due in 2015, plus another $2.5 million in salary and workout bonuses. If he continues at his current level, Lofton could well be worth a total of $7 million. But his contract was clearly designed for that to be a “prove it” clause. Hawthorne, likewise, is due a $2.5 million roster bonus in 2015, plus $2 million in salary. |

2m - Sign drafted players 400k practice squad Leaving 1.2m in case we have an injury to pick up a warm body. I do not see that little bit of cap space as an opportunity. With Grubs and Evans not restructured yet, those would be the keys to a long term deal for Graham. Even is grahams long term deal was mostly signing bonus and minimum salary it would hit us for 3m this year. leaving us short for the draft and PS. |
Re: Free agents 2014
Per OverTheCap.com we have $2,138,782 available in cap space...

Re: Free agents 2014

If you notice overthecap shows that Cap Space number is "Est." All in all.... overthecap shows less money to work with so no, it isnt a prelude to a graham contract. That will come with the restructure of Grubs and Evans. 7m + 2.1m to Jimmy Graham is 9.1m. Leaving you with $0.00 to sign draft picks, practice squad, take the team to Sonic...:bng: |
Re: Free agents 2014

And their currently showing the Non-Exclusive Tag money against Graham, so if Loomis has that much too work with this season, he may guarantee more money down the road to keep Graham at that cap number this season... |
Re: Free agents 2014
Quote:
It's a case of take only when you need and not before. With 2.6m in cap space going to a long term deal for Graham will consume that. Draft picks will require 4m and the restructure of one of them. The second will be a restructure to have some space available to start the season. Now, if Jimmy signs the tag, one gets reworked and Loomis saves the other for a rainy day next year. |

Re: Free agents 2014
ok Mickey was my favorite punching bag in the front office for years but the guy has done a heck of a job in the past few years i have to believe he has this all mapped out to work.
from what i understand jimmy's tag figures are already included in our cap figures. plus keep in mind Grubbs and Evens already restructured their contracts in 2013. increasing their signing bonuses again? that would be wild. pro-rate yet again over the remaining contract? trying see the business sense in that move. Right now i really can not even grasp the logic i would start exploring other options |

Update on 2014 roster, with free agency, trades and the draft upon us, this is where we are:

Contracts as they are with Running Back, we'll only have Thomas, Robinson under contract after this season... Damn thin on that offensive line... Roll the dice and see if Patrick Robinson can blossom under Ryan... Sure would like to bring Meachem back in the role, contract we had this past season... Wonder if we can snag a good role player in the latter waves of Free Agency...
