Saints morning report: Dead money

Product of the Smith cut for the most part. Historically we've never had a problem.

As my mother-n-law would say, Loomis was takin dat dope for Smiths contract.

I think its a product of continually over-paying players instead of standing by our guns and offering fair market value. It goes all the way back to Deuce, Grant, Smith, Harper, Vilma...

I still think Loomis is one of the best, but he does tend to overpay.

We normally do not carry more than $200-$400 k in dead money a year.

Is say yes and no, or perhaps there is more to it than just that. To be fair to Loomis where was our defense when those contracts were signed, where were those players when those contracts were signed.

Most importantly Loomis is all numbers and makes work what he is asked to make work. Smith, Greer, Harper account for 8.6m in dead money, aren't their contracts all products of Greg Williams? Someone asks Loomis to keep or get certain players and recommends their top cost.

It almost looks like someone was planning Hatpers exit for at least a year or so.
