Excited to see what Breaux brings in camp but I'm not assuming we have the #2 spot filled.

True, but I'm not sure anyone believes he's the #2 yet. I'd say the odds are 50/50 that he even makes the team.

I'll bet we add 3 or 4 more players that could win that spot.

My FA list: Maxwell, Culliver, Skrine, Cox (in that order)

wow; with our cap situation? Good luck with that...

brees84 · 01-27-2015, 01:00 PM

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.

This is a thread about Delvin Breaux right? I just found out he played for LSU making him the Saints only former Tiger. So of course I really hope he shines and we have two Louisiana corners.

Contract details just released. Great work guys!

Breaux bought in on the shot to start immediately as CB#2.

With this savings at CB (and assuming he wins the job), we could spend money to upgrade OL and front seven! (maybe)

Breaux's contract includes the league minimum base salary in each of the three years, according to the NFLPA. His base salary is $435,000 in 2015, $525,000 in 2016 and $615,000 in 2017.

A portion of his 2015 salary -- $138,000, according to a league source -- is guaranteed even if he's released by the team.

Breaux, who joined the Saints after two years in the Canadian Football League, also received a $12,000 signing bonus.
