So regardless of whether Jimmy is franchised as a TE or a WR we still have a lot of work to do salary cap-wise. This is gonna get interesting. I think we may be in for some dramatic moves.

The Graham deal will get dobe with a low cap hit in the first year and Brees will open up the space next year and Cam Jordan will be sorted.

Re: 2014 Cap #?

Presently we are 8.1m under the cap.

I wouldn't expect that number to budge much if any until AFTER negotiations or what ever with Jimmy reach a certain point.

Loomis has a stack of restructures on his desk but isn't going to do anything just yet.

One doesn't tell a person he is about to haggle with that he just found 6 MORE million dollars.

You go into Graham like we are now, just over the TE FT, and you NEVER tell Jimny he isn't worth 12m, you just tell him we only have 8m.

Re: 2014 Cap #?

Well, that gives us a little more to work with. Those first four cuts hurt but we needed the money.

That is with out jimmy's tag. Jimmy was not tagged with a position so there is no $ amount to assign, and he has not signed any tag tender so we will not see a cap hit until both happen.

According to overthecap, we're 1.6 under the cap, and they're currently using 7 million (TE) for Jimmy's cap hit. Add 5 million to that figure if he wins the WR designation.

OTC is premature in assigning a value and no tender has been offered to Jimmy yet.

1. The Saints don’t designate the position.

Despite reports suggesting that the Saints would be tagging Graham as a tight end, the Saints simply apply the tag generically. The NFL Management Council will determine whether to apply the $7.035 million tight end franchise tender or the far more lucrative $12.315 million receiver franchise tender.

True, I'm just saying that OTC is using TE tag numbers to arrive at their 1.6 under number. I'm sure its just an estimate.

We'll be 3.4 over if he's given the WR tag.
