We started out with $31.3M free cap. Brees was already counting $6 toward that figure. The new deal adds an additional $18M leaving $13.3M. There is also around $9M in roster bonuses that can be automatically converted to signing bonuses thus free up another $6M to $7M. Therefore, before doing any creative accounting, such as restructuring deals, we're looking at around $20M to work with. Converting roster bonuses do not required approval of the player as it looks the same to them. The only difference is that the amount is amortized for cap reasons over the remainder of their contract. The player gets the whole amount regardless.

Re: Drew Brees Deal is Done!
They do but that deal has to be paid via the cap at some point. Im not worried about anything i just don't want to see any stupid deals and mortgaging the future.

Re: Drew Brees Deal is Done!
Drew Brees is now set to count $33.5M against the Saints' salary cap in 2019. https://t.co/X6nklQ4Mel

It will continue to be that type of structure until he decides to retire.

Re: Drew Brees Deal is Done!
All I say as it relates to #9 is that you better enjoy his greatness for the next 2+ seasons. It could be many, many years before we ever see anything like it in New Orleans at the QB position.
I'll let everyone else breakdown the cap . |

Re: Drew Brees Deal is Done!
All I know is when you add 20 million to 18 million it sometimes become 27 million unless you're doing that new math where you take 3 cows and turn them around and they see 3 chickens, who killed the turtle!
I really don't care about the cap. The team has handled that very well over many years and will handle it again! |
