They needed a tight end, we resigned Graham. It's like Loomis is rubbing Dimitoff's nose in his own ineptitude. |

Re: 2014 Salary Cap- Updated
I trust Loomis, but next years cap looks awful. 12m over and that includes losing all free-agents. Even with a Brees restructure/extension we are going to be hurting.
Loomis you got your work cut out for you next year bud! |

Re: 2014 Salary Cap- Updated
Saints are 4.5 million under the cap. hmmmmm
i count 4 players playing for their future with saints Mechuem - Ingram - Robinson - Butler so sign an extension for any of them? I say no at this point wait and see and hold out till the final cuts then make a move if we need to.

Re: 2014 Salary Cap- Updated
I hope you are not crunching all these numbers in your head ScottF.
Anyone remember when we didn't have cap issues? It's almost kinda somewhat nice. |

Evans and Grubbs restructures would save another $7-8 million, that's a conservative estimate.
Loomis can keep on doing this year after year until Brees retires, at which point we are probably doing a full-scale rebuild. |
