Re: Saints Can Clear $20M In Cap Space
Would Brees restructuring this year save us some more as well?

I like Hawthorne and think he'll take the lower salary |

Re: Saints Can Clear $20M In Cap Space
Checklist:
Figure out Ingram's market value. Other teams will bid, hopefully we can match. If not there's plenty of RBs in the draft. Fix the O line. Need a Guard, need a Center. Fix the D line. Need a run-stuffer and depth. Fix the LBs. Need youth and athleticism. Inside and outside. Fix the secondary. Need a true #2 CB. NOW. We could go into training camp with some very interesting pieces. Give Brees another 2 seconds. Limit the run. Limit the deep plays. Tackle well. Create a few more turnovers. I'm digging 2015 already.... |

Plus add in a possible: Colston restructure Brees restructure Grubbs restructure (cut IMO) Evans restructrue Who dares question the awe mighty powerful Loomis? |

Re: Saints Can Clear $20M In Cap Space
I keep reading "worst cap situation" in the league. I don't get it either.
