Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
Don't roster bonuses not count against the cap? If that is correct, that isn't much money to swallow in the NFL, in order to take a little more time on getting a better trade deal worked out.

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
Make this happen. I hope they sign him and just swap the picks back from the Cooks signing. Didn't we swap like a 3rd and 4th with New England ?? I'm not sure. But even if we give up the 32nd pick, It's like we traded Cooks for Butler which I would do all day. . .. Let's Go N.O. !!!!

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
swap Cook for browner? short might mouse for yet another short might mouse does not thrill me and swap for cap hits is so one sided i really do not like it. Pats need to give up picks to suck up such a huge cap hit. But another CB under 5'10" ?
We needed to sign a pats S to make this work. Pats run a single high safety look that always rolls coverage to the best WR on the field. We do not have that FS to do this. If this draft was not so deep on CB I might have a different feeling. At this point I would let him walk and keep the picks. |

Re: Breaking: Malcolm Butler visiting Saints Thursday!
The size thing for corners at this level are a bit over rated.
Peterson A.J.Bouye Chris Harris Jr Josh Norman Joe Haden Malcolm Butler (all he does is makes plays) All above average corners barely six feet tall. |

That doesn't sound like the Saints got fleeced at all. If that's how it goes down then it sounds like pretty shrewd moves by Payton. Of course, that also has Loomis written all over it. He knows how to manipulate the cap better than most in the league. |
