Not all of them lol


Brees and Galette restructure could free 20 mil in cap space.

And you can cut: Hawthorne (3mil), Bunkley (2,5mil), restructure Evans or Grubs (3mil), cutting Evans saves 6mil...

key word equals could; nothing is imminent and any restructuring is speculation at this point.

Until restructuring happens and not speculated we are in a severe cap situation

Yep, agreed...maxwell or culliver would be solid. We can definitely make a run at maxwell this year, "If" we choose to do so. Im in the number that was worried about our cap & hate that we keep backloading, but restructures & cuts which are inevitable makes this possible. We have to get under the cap one way or another so it will happen.

Hey mitch, go mess around with the GM tool on fanspeak. Gives you some insight. Fun stuff

Galette doesn't seem like the restructuring type. I think he's happy that he got his.

First of all, restructuring ALWAYS works in the player's favor. That is why it is a last resort of sorts. Secondly, Galette is due a $12.5M roster bonus meaning a cap hit in 2015 of the same. If I'm not mistaken, the Saints have the option of converting the roster bonus into a signing bonus which can then be prorated over the final five years of his contract, thus reducing the 2015 hit to $2.5M, or an immediate cap saving of $10M off this upcoming cap. Galette still gets his full $12.5M right away, therefore he's happy.
