"5. New Orleans Saints (11-5) - Previously: 5.
I love how Drew Brees was pissed that the Saints traded away Darren Sproles. Maybe this wouldn't have happened if, I don't know, he didn't sign a $100 million contract with $40 million guaranteed. Brees could have taken something like $85 million and $32 million guaranteed to have a better supporting cast. Sure, losing $8 million guaranteed hurts, but having an upgraded team means more shots at the Super Bowl, which translates into more endorsements. And that means recouping any lost money. I don't get how athletes don't understand this concept. "

Wow, someone not of Saints Crusade actually gets it...

If he "got it" he would "get" that the guaranteed is a portion of the total and doesn't effect the cap. Guaranteed money is not on top of the total and it is not on top of a signing bonus.

You can have a 50m guaranteed 5 year/100M contract with no signing bonus to prorate, and as long as that player makes 50m before that contract is up, it doesn't matter when he gets paid.. That contract could be paid out in 10m/year cap hit..
