I hope Mickey is stashing some money away for a long term contract. Jordan has been solid since he was drafted and has gotten better every year. I see multilple pro bowls for Jordan and the entire Saints defense.

This is a young defense that is building around corner stones like Cam Jordan along the front D-line. I also fully expect our secondary to be a turn over machine with a lot of three and outs. This defense will give every offensive coordinator night mares.

Byrd has been meeting with Ryan. I'd love to be a fly on the wall at those first couple of sessions together. Ryan has alot to work with......and this is before the draft even starts. Nice job Mickey.

Saints' 2015 cap is loaded -- but worth it - New Orleans Saints Blog - ESPN

Sure, the Saints are facing even more salary-cap constraints in 2015 and beyond. They now have $134 million counting against their 2015 salary cap for just 42 players, according to ESPN Stats and Information. And that doesn't include the looming new mega-deal for tight end Jimmy Graham.

Looming mega deal... Like a 2nd franchise tag

?

Jimmy is an anomaly. One that is stuck between two competing values. His production and ability have 1 value (the higher), but his position has another value (the lower).

Presently Jason Witten has the highest ave contract value at roughly 7.5m/year
Gronkowski has the highest total contract value but it is still less than 7m/year.

Jimmy wants 10m+/year but his position doesn't warrant that.

Jimmy's 2014 tag is $7m
2015 Franchise Tag value is 120% (Second Tag for Jimmy) of the 2014 which is $8.4 Million.

So as a business exercise, in 2015 Jimmy Graham will either be playing under contract that he signs in 2015 for roughly 8.5m (ish)/year (Highest paid Tight End), or he gets a second tag and plays for 8.4m/year.

We all focus on Cap number but that is like focusing on monthly car note.. What do you want it to be? Loomis can stretch the years out and make it what he wants.

The real metric Loomis focuses on is the position value and the player performance. Once that is done he can make the payments what he wants.

Ironic that one of the best Cap Managers is employed by a Car Dealership owner

Better throw in Lo-Jack so Gubbs doesn't have to go visit them.

Then we better bring home a ring this year. Our window of opportunity is now closing.
