Saints convert Cam Jordan's roster bonus into signing bonus. Creating $4.8 million in cap space.

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Originally Posted by burningmetal Alright, but I'm talking everything he does. I am least of all referring to his personnel decisions, though. It's less about the players, themselves, as it is to do with the contracts given. He's not wise ...

He's not wise about spreading things out. He just goes all in on one or two guys. No one can predict injuries, but when you put too many eggs in one basket you run a high risk of getting burned. I was actually excited about Byrd when he first came here, but the contract itself made me cringe when I saw it. It did not give me a good feeling, but I hoped Byrd would at least make the team better... Unfortunately that has not been the case.

But we are always in cap purgatory because of his so called cap "skills". When you have to turn around and dump a bunch of players and absorb huge amounts of wasted money, it's hard for me to see that as anything but evidence of past failures.
Your whole premise is that the Saints are in "cap purgatory" or "cap hell". That is not the case at all. Cost accounting is not based upon a snapshot. It is fluid. You have to be able to project into the future. You have to understand that expenses incurred today will reflect a lower percentage of the total when being moved into the future with greater operating fund availability.

Most NFL GM's are personnel men, not accountants. They operate within the current period for the most part. They are wasting potential operating space due to there lack of financial knowledge.

Don't trust anything about finances coming from writers that for the most part live check to check and most likely have no idea how to even balance that checkbook.
