Yup someone is on SP's radar. Agreed games are very close! A win against the Cow's will swing the momentum.

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

People have been screaming for Drew to restructure or something about his contract. Well, he's done it and we don't know why. Head scratcher.

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

I don't have cap numbers handy at my disposal, and thus I obviously don't study all the numbers. But I'm guessing that when people we hear reports about cap issues for next year, it's because they factoring salary hikes along with the projected cap raise. And this deal is adding to that issue.

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

It's because this isn't a cost reducing move. It's just a pay me later move.

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

Yes but it allows the ability to sign a player this year that is in need and pay me later part can be absorb in an extension and also as the cap number climbs. This year $143 million next year it's supposed to increase to $160 million.

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

Will they give Jahri Evans a raise?

We'll have to wait and see what they have in mind.

:popcorn:

Right now it's just befuddling speculation.

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

Right, but as I said to you in another reply, there will be rising salaries as well. Mickey has been back-loading contracts for years, and it's precisely why we're in the predicament we're in. It's fine and dandy to bring in a player for now, but who exactly are we going to get at this point and how many times are we going to keep making the same mistakes that put us in a hole?

Also, given Drew's injury and age I don't think an extension would be a good idea.

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

Heard on the radio Payton talking about TE. He is not happy with the production so far and said we need some help there. His exact words.

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

I have no doubt Brees will do the Brady-type extension after this season. The future cap will not be an issue. The cap limit is rising a significant amount each year and there is no end to that trend in sight. Pushing cap hit to the future is smart finance. This is nothing but cost accounting 101. And, yes, I do have an accounting degree ... as does Loomis.

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

Absolutely.

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

Of course, Antonio Gates and Brees do have a history.

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

Brandon Browner for Travis Kelce lol

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

I'm all for optimism but come on. This season is over. There is not one or even two new players that are going to help us. what one player or two even are you gonna get for 3 mil a year to save this team

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

The season isn't over. It's week 4 and some of the best players are starting to come back. Cmon man! You crazy!!!

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

Could be they need some cap room to bring in somebody else to replace Byrd on the roster, long term, if it turns out that he's not actually gonna ever be back. #cynicism #bummer #negaSaints #speculation

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

Like Payton said himself, Clark Kent isn't walking through the door. I say a big, mean,nasty NT could help.

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

If Clark Kent indeed walks through the door, Rob Ryan would give him kryptonite.

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

Hope it is Albert Connell

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

Your age is showing...

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

Lol. Talk about poor decisions in the past. The guy was a pos.

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

What's Jim Everett up to these days?

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

Johnathon Sullivan would fit right in with this team where is he at

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

Yeah cause it worked so well for us in the past.:dunce:. Were you stranded on a deserted island all off-season?

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

Why? Brees gets cut next year.

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

I'm calling a trade for Martellus Bennett from the Bears. The prorated potion of his salary is just under 4 million. With the space the Saints created, they have about 5 million under the cap. Payton wants a TE. Bears are dumping contracts. The money adds up.

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

traded for Michael Hoomanawanui! championship!

4 career TDs. 518 yds.

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

He's a blocking TE from what I hear

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

Yeah. Not sure we had to trade for someone like him.

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

they made cap space for this move?

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

So, what's Michael Hoomanawanui like?

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

So we traded Hicks for this dude. lol Are they serious?

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

Hicks played poorly but c'mon man...

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

Nice catch...

I don't know the guy, so I am happy to see how it plays out.

Highlight: Michael Hoomanawanui one-handed TD grab | New England Patriots

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

Damn....I wonder what we gave up for this....it's a proven fact that you don't trade for Patriot players...they mail it in until their contracts are up and they can go back...lol

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

Hicks is headed to the Pro Bowl....lol

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

Hooman Dat!

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

Bill Johnson, now watch and learn!

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

Bruh.....

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

its like they trying to get the first pick now

Re: Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
 

I am assuming this has nothing directly to do with the Brees restructure?

Does that mean we have something else coming up? Pass rush from somewhere?
