I think Gallete burned his trained possibilities and they will end up cutting him saving another 16.2 million in cap space and with PT's 830K against the cap only 5 million left to go. We will restructure Colston, Evans and a couple others to get to a positive cap number. I could even see them restricting drew a little. He's 33 million against the cap.

We gain nothing by cutting Gallete. He has 16.2 mil in dead money.

Brees is only $26.4 against the cap this season. Not $33M.

We will draft a DE in the first to replace him since we sound the allstar CB our of the CFL. Coach has a nard on for Canada

Galette will not be cut. Cutting him would give the Saints no relief. But if they trade him, they will have 3+ million in dead money, but save just north of 11 million.

If they can find a team willing to have Galette for 12 million this year with no guarantees in the future years, they might get a taker. Due to the money amount, they will not get a premium pick unless they also are taking back a contract someone wants to move. But, my guess is a team with cap space would be willing to give a late rounder or cheap role player for him. I'd look toward Jags or Raiders- both teams with lots of space and little edge rushing presence. The Redskins might also be a fit. Neither of those teams would give more than a 5th rounder for him.

It was fun to watch Galette grow into a starter.

We all pulled for him.

Can't say he's handled success well or that he's more than a situational pass rusher now.

If we trade him even to save a few million, I'll understand.

whenever it comes out in the news that a team has someone on the trading block doesn't that usually mean they don't want these guys, but no one else is willing to trade for them?

I saw this earlier and thought it was pretty accurate:
