Who to cut (cap hits included)

So two fumbles in three years is a fumbling problem to you?
I just don't know how to reply to that one.

All of these? Im not suggesting cutting every Saints running back

To me we ran the ball better when forced to go to a two back rotation with one extra back for injury....

New Back... I think my two names were Jeremy Hill, or Andre Williams
Khiry
Sproles.... Healthy of course......

Then don't. I fully explained why I felt that way.... I think I did that well enough for you to understand why I felt that way........ But, if that's not enough for you I could also add the injury history, and the 2 plus years of two yards and a cloud of dust if the first part doesn't help you.... I don't feel he is the future of our back field.... It's an opinion... my opinion, and mine only!!!!

Cap Room
$168,546

Still need to sign the drafted players and need a new RT and C. Not going to be an easy year for Loomis. Restructuring Brees is out of the question because we need to save that for next year. Colston could restructure to save 3.05m or we could cut PRob to save 1.3m. Don't expect some major signings this year. Going to be a harsh off-season in my opinion.

You can play with the cap at this site... see how you do.

Not if you start placing more names on that cut list........ Also a few questions, Why are people so high on Haralson??? Ive seen 3 or 4 people now including my brother who love Haralson off two similar injuries coming back??? why bring Greer back if you draft a starter and you bring back a younger P Rob, and Corey White???

Well that Big Boob Bull is worth 5 million, shouldn't we at least consider restructuring it.....

I say let sproles go but keep thomas, thomas is very underated. Smith, Jreer, moore should go. Also dont sign haralson he is a great player no doubt but he is too injury prone

Haralson plays the run very well and comes cheap.

You keep Greer and Harper off of restructures. If they are unwilling then cut them, but you can restructure them to a point where you would only save 500k cutting them... doesn't make sense to do that.

As far as cutting more people; it gets really tight. Everyone in this thread talks about cutting Buckley but if you look at his 6.1m cap number but 5m in dead money cutting him to save 1.1m doesn't make sense.

The more I think about it i don't know if we can afford to keep Graham. If we keep him we might lose 3-4 starters through cuts alone. We have had the #1 offense without Graham in the past, is he really worth it?

Zip Jeremy Hill. I don't think Payton would want to waste time developing this kid when we have Ingram, Khiry etc. Plus JH off the field issues are still a concern.

Cutting:

1. You can cut when a player is depth but doesn't play.

2. You can cut when there is no dead money associated.

3. You can cut when cap hit is higher than dead money hit..... AND you can find better talent for no more than the difference.

Anything other that will hurt.

You don't cut a 5M cap hit with 4.5M dead money and replace with equal talent. WTF is the gain?
