Trade Colston and free up 8.3M in cap space...

Drastic times...

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.
