Saints have an extra $5.75M in Cap space

If you include the bonus conversions that Loomis always writes into his contracts and the probable annual extension to Brees' contract the total free cap space can approach the $50 million range.

Saints have 36 million in cap space.

Browns: 108 million.

Pats are up there too at 71 million.

This organization is first class from top to bottom and one win away from going back to yet another SB.

Man they manage things well. It almost seems unfair.

I thought Brees said he's going to go year by year and wasn't going to sign an extension until after he's played out his current contract.

I haven't seen that anywhere about not doing anything until playing out his contract. Payton said he is committed to staying in New Orleans through the end of HIS contract, at least. The only thing Brees has said is, "I'll be here as long as they'll have me."

“I signed a one-year extension ... so I plan on playing that out and just allowing things to take form and take shape here for next year and putting forth my absolute best effort to help us win a division championship and then a world championship and then again, just one year at a time,” Brees said. “And that’s not a lack of commitment or anything like that. I just want to focus on what’s right in front of me.”

I had missed that entirely. Not much mentioned about it elsewhere. Although, if for some reason cap space is needed, some could be realized from an extension. But, his $24 million hit in 2016 isn't that bad compared to his value.
