This is a desperate season for the Saints, making it inconvenient for them to be off to an 0-3 start.
But they’ve added to their 2016 salary cap issues with their latest bid to create some short-term room. According to Field Yates of ESPN, the Saints turned $5.2 million of Brees’ base salary into a signing bonus, which created $2.6 million in cap space now. That pushes his 2016 cap value to $30 million.  Chicago players maybe? Who else? read more Attached Thumbnails

JJ Watt would be about the only person I can think of that would make a difference on this D, and he ain't play for that level of coin...

Saints restructure Drew Brees deal, push more cap hit to future
This is a desperate season for the Saints, making it inconvenient for them to be off to an 0-3 start.
But they’ve added to their 2016 salary cap issues with their latest bid to create some short-term room. According to Field Yates of ESPN, the Saints turned $5.2 million of Brees’ base salary into a signing bonus, which created $2.6 million in cap space now. That pushes his 2016 cap value to $30 million. Coupled with the continued hits from the Junior Galette deal and others (over $12 million in dead money next year), and the Saints are on the verge of a significant financial situation. read more More here | |

Yep, about to pull the trigger on someone and don't be worried about The cap hit next year. Brees will be extended for 3 years with a hometown discount and everything will be great.
