2015 NFL Free Agency

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Restructuring Brees and Galette's contracts and cutting Evans puts us 7 million under the cap. Just like that. I don't get why everybody's got their panties all in a wad about the salary cap AGAIN. We should all know better ...

Well yea, heres to hoping, but that doesnt mean its not bad cap management though. Brees will get restructured. Gallette, who knows. Evans im hoping to be realeased & agree bud.

But heres the thing.... we dont yet know what the salary cap will be next year. So idk how you would know that for sure, know what i mean? No one does. we're hoping for it to go up, & maybe it will be $140 million, like ppl believe it could.

What we know for sure - our cap as of now for 2015 is $160million+
With the guess that it could move up to $140m, that leaves us to chop $21M+ & sign free agents/draft picks. Thats no cake walk, Ya kno? But i know it will happen & so does everyone else, hell it has to get done, theres no option...so it will haha

It happens every year; "Oh no! We're in salary cap hell and we can't afford anyone!"... Loomis works his magic, gets under the cap signs a big time free agent(Byrd, Bailey); everyone calls him a genius and we move on...

I would throw Graham, Grubbs and Lofton in there for pay-cuts also. Graham played no were near what he gets.

Last year people were writing about Dallas cap hell and mocking them. They are now in playofs and have long term stability.

Yes. And Zack Martin was great pick. I watched combine and he impressed me more than any other OL player.
