after the Kruger deal we have less than $1.5 mill
Sitton's cap hit will be 6. That's a lot of playing around with Brees' contract- his base is only $19 mill, so a renegotiated contract would need to bring that down to 14 mill, not including signing bonus

His 2016 cap hit could be as low as $8 mill ($30 mill proration plus vet min) depending upon the structure. It wouldn't have to be that low, but it illustrates how much latitude exists.

Oh well........it was great while it lasted.
