You mean our salary cap is tighter than expected?

As of today, we have $16.1 million in 2017 cap space remaining. $7.8 million of that would be allocated for the draft (subject to change). We also have around $8 million in unconverted roster bonuses and the additional $7.9 million that drops off the the 2017 cap on the Byrd post June 1st release. That gives the Saints at least $24 million in totally non-allocated cap space for more off-season moves.

We lost 4.5 million? Where's our tax return man?

Godhell was simply making things more difficult than necessary so he could take the money back when we finally had some extra money to spend on getting better.jmho

Also, please don't try to confuse me with facts that don't align with this theory.
