I really want to see what happened here but my estimation of Galette has dropped quite a bit. And I wasn't even as high on him as a lot of people were last year.

Looking at the figures on over the cap,the roster bonus is nearly all guaranteed.

Sure. But if he's not on the roster.....

Basically we need to find out what happened. If it's bad, cut him before the roster bonus goes into effect (I believe that's usually something like June 1st) and you're off the hook. If it's not too bad, then proceed as normal.

Not if he violated the terms of his contract.

I guess it will come down to the small print of the contract

To clarify, you only get a roster bonus if you are on the roster. If you're not on the roster when the roster bonus is due, you don't get crap (and the team is not on the hook for the cap hit). If these charges are bad enough the Saints can simply cut him now and be done with it.

Loomis was smart to structure the contract the way he did. Although I'm sure he was trying to protect the team from Junior being a one-year wonder after 2013, not in case of something like this happening.

Luca Brasi owes me 100 favors. We'll get this swept under the rug.
