Sproles departing on any terms will = 750k in dead money regardless.

Before Byrds contract we had 2m in cap space, even if Sproles is cut, that is 3.4m in cap space totaling 5.4m, by my contract distribution, and I would in no way trust mine LOL, but we would still be 500k under.

Then there is the rumored PT release +3m in cap pspace
3.5m in room
Restructuring Grubs/Evans 8mish
11.5m in cap space

Oak, is there a chance Brees would restructure to make some space?

I personally do not see it. His Salary is 10.7m and his bonus prorat number for this season is 7.4m .. Basically 3mish to work with.



A restructure is essentially converting Sal to Bonus through extension.

Next season is a 10m difference between those two and you could cut his cap number by 5-6m easily with a restructure/extension.

The signing of Byrd proves that The Saints are considered an elite team. We were able to get a valuable piece that was needed on the first day. And its apparent that he viewed us as his landind spot as well.

I think the plan is too wait till next year to restructure Drews deal. His cap is still around not over $20ml yet, the jumps starts next year when I can see a extension to drop his cap

You might like the looks of this contract but this is the kind of guy who will pull a no-show and demand more $$. Hopefully it's all different now but I doubt it.
