Good article. Fleener should be cut this week. Hill and Hoo-man entering the last year of contracts. It’s time to make a move at TE.
I’m fine with Graham as a stop-gap to mirror Brees’s remaining years. The draft has three very intriguing players who should be there for us in rounds 1-3. Hurst, Andrews, Fumagalli. All are tall with speed and range. Saints position outlook: New Orleans has some big decisions to make at tight end | Saints | theadvocate.com |

Re: Saints have big decisions at TE
Dalton Schultz is an interesting player that reminds me of Jason Witten. Great blocker with good hands

Re: Saints have big decisions at TE
Cutting Fleener frees up 3, but also leaves 5 in dead money.
He is not awful, just not worth what he is getting. Wonder if his agent is smart enough to see that |

One more year for Fleecer, then cut bait.

Re: Saints have big decisions at TE
His contract is rightside up for the Saints now. $8 million cap hit if he plays for the Saints in 2018 vs $4.8 million dead cap if released. Likely thius offseason he'll be requested to take a pay cut and be released if he refuses.

Re: Saints have big decisions at TE
Just for reference here’s the financial ramifications of moving on from Fleener this year.
PRE-6/1 RELEASE 2018 Dead Cap: $4,800,000 2018 Cap Savings: $3,200,000 PRE-6/1 TRADE 2018 Dead Cap: $4,800,000 2018 Cap Savings: $3,200,000 POST-6/1 RELEASE 2018 Dead Cap: $1,600,000 2019 Dead Cap: $3,200,000 2018 Cap Savings: $6,400,000 POST-6/1 TRADE 2018 Dead Cap: $1,600,000 2019 Dead Cap: $3,200,000 2018 Cap Savings: $6,400,000 It looks like he’s an ideal candidate for a post-6/1 designation, but that doesn’t really help us in free agency this year. |
