I doubt even Loomis can create enough cap space... Haven't the Lions already said that they would use the franchise tag(25 million cap hit) on Suh before they would let him leave...

I think the Lions have said the franchise tag isn't ruled out, but I doubt they can make the space to use it. That being said, I can't imagine the Saints being able to create enough room to sign Suh. Suh wants to become the highest paid d-lineman, surpassing J.J. Watt.

Watt signed a 6/100 deal with 20+ guaranteed.

It's 16.6 aav...so if Suh gets that, even with bumping some money to future years, He's going to count at least 10 million to the cap in 2015. With already needing to clear money, I cannot see anyway the Saints fit a Suh deal under the cap, especially when teams like Oakland with already 30 million under the cap are rumored to be interested.
