Therefore, looks like no new center (Lelito shuffle), Bush only gets 1 million or walks, Harris steps in at RT, practice squad players forced to step up. |

I really don't envy Loomis right now. He is going to have a rough time getting the cap in-order. If anyone can do it, Loomis can. Brees is willing to restructure but that kills us next year. |

From something i posted in another thread.
Trade Colston and free up 8.3M in cap space... |

Thanks for looking up those replacement costs. I was going to do that too but didn't have the time. I'd guess we'll probably have room for 2 big free-agent signings, Graham and Strief are my two choices. Bush is a RFA so we can tender him low. |

Its not outside the realm of possibility. We're gonna lose some really popular players. Its looking inevitable that players like PT, Colston, Moore, Graham (?), Sproles, Ingram, may be playing for someone else next year. Question, because the new CBA screws me up...signing bonus still stays with the Saints even if we trade a player. So Colston's signing bonus portion of his dead money will still apply to our cap, right? If so trading Colston hurts our cap instead of helps. |

Crap, your right.... Only caveat being that if it's after June 1st it's divided out over 2 years. |
Re: Who to cut (cap hits included)
By the by, cutting Bunkley, which would be a huge mistake from a personnel standpoint, would only save $1,275,000 of his $6,112,500 cap number - so in both cases, that's a mistake...
Cutting Pierre Thomas would save significantly more, $2,900,000, but that's a bargain for his production and I'd hate to see the best screen back in football leave... Sproles may be vulnerable as of his 2014 salaray cap number, $4,250,000, a savings of $3,500,000 would be earned... If Lance Moore were released we'd save $2,531,250, just under half of his $5,068,750 salary cap number... Now that Mark Ingram is progressing, is younger, and may have found his rhythm with the Saints, I'd had to cut hims as of his cap number of $2,359,875, we'd only save $1,386,375... Malcolm Jenkins is another cap casualty candidate as his $1,644,000 cap number could be recovered... Jabari Greer is another only other player that may be vulnerable as the Saints would recover $3,175,000 of his 2014 number of $5,825,000... Most of the other players would either represent small savings or releasing them would accelerate cap hits and cost more for 2014... Source: OvertheCap.com |
