They had to have given up something in return and that may have been a percentage of their 2020 salaries going into escrow to offset any hit to the 2021 cap.

Awww, the poor coddled millionaires might have to make less millions.

Couldn't happen to a better group of people.

Seems fair since the poor coddled billionaire owners will be making billions less.

Every time I turn around there is another COVID reaction that is just devastating. And I'm not just talking football.

The loss of revenue will be spread out over years, but the salary cap WILL go down next season. It feels like a virtual certainty that we won’t be re-signing Brees because of cap limitations.

I'm not sure Brees is playing next season irregardless of the Wuhan Virus pandemic...

Could see them reworking his contract to spread out the cap hit, but just don't see him playing past this season...

What's really worrisome with the cap likely not increasing, we've yet to extend Ramczyk, Lattimore, Mr. Marcus, Kamara...

Then there's all three linebackers' contracts expiring; there's gonna be several painful decisions to be made...

And All this rolling debt forward that Loomis' has been praised will face the reality of the bill coming due...

All 32 teams will be facing the hurdle of lower 2021-2024 salary caps, not just the Saints. Players know that their new contract numbers ARE going to be lower for the immediate future. There is a level playing field.

And I fully expect Brees to be returning once again in 2021. Why wouldn't he as long as he is still performing at a high level and enjoying playing the game ... the two factors he has consistently given? Throw in the race for all-time records and I simply don't see him hanging it up as long as Brady is still playing.

As long as Brees wants to keep playing cap limitations will not stand in the way of his remaining a Saint. Players know that with the current global economics new contracts will be far more fluid for the next few years. Every industry is being hit around the world.

Yeah, I just read that they will only make 8 billion this year.:( Possibly more with the additional TV revenue. Poor folks. I hope that they don't have to suffer like the rest of the US and cut back on their expenses.

Incidentally, my Lear jet is up for sale at a reasonable price. No good offer refused.:cool:
