Look at our FA's not counting Drew next year. We need a lot to sign them. Unger, Letio, KV, Jenkins, Edbali, Coleman, Fairley, Dixon, Snead, Kyle Wilson and Cadet to name a few. Now, add in Brees and see what it's at....

Really? A top 3 LT and a top 5 Center? What about Snead? He proved to be a valuable weapon for Drew. You add just those 3 to Brees and 30-35 million is gone.

Unger just restructured and added on years. That's plenty of money to resign Armstead, Snead and make a couple big splashes in free agency

Thats awesome. A dominant center for sure. Glad to see him back!

Max Unger hasn't signed an extension. Between him, Brees and Armstead that'll be half of the cap space right there. Still nice to not have to create space though.

Yeah, I can't find anything on Unger re-signing.

Per rotoworld, both sides are working on an extension. For some reason, thought they had made a deal

Is it too soon to say Loomis is a financial genius?

Re: Saints with $53 Million in Cap Space in 2017

Looking at the salary cap numbers:
2017- includes 38 players one of which is not named Drew Brees. It is fair to say that players like Delvin Breaux will eventually warrant an upgrade in contract.
2018- includes 24 players. I am not even sure this even warrants discussion when the list includes only 24 players......

I'm going to go ahead and say that Loomis knows what he is doing... Gets crucified for making a few mistakes, but remember, to err is human.
