How soon can the Saints get out of their contract with Andrus Peat?

RefsRobbedUs · 12-14-2020, 04:21 PM

He’s rewarded them by ranking second-worst in pressures allowed, per Pro Football Focus (only rookie center-guard convert Cesar Ruiz has more, with 22 pressures on 334 pass-block reps; Peat has 20 on 393 snaps), including a team-high 4 sacks.

Ruiz is young but I wasn't a fan of the pick to begin with. Not good when we have 2 of the worst in this area.

In other words, the Saints have a choice: they can cut him in March and eat a big loss in salary cap accounting, or wait until 2023, when they’ll first recoup some resources by parting with him (saving $9.225 million in cap space). There are still games to play this year, but the clock is effectively ticking on when exactly they’d like to take this gut punch.

Getting Brees back doesn't change anything if those guys are starting for us.

Playoffs will look very familiar if they don't turn it around.

It is what is. We have a LG that stinks at pass blocking. No team has good starters at every spot on the O-Line.

Facts. No perfect teams in the NFL. HOF’ers need to be HOF’ers. Superstars need to be superstars.

Up to this point, Peat is who he is and isn't getting any better. The long term contract he signed is still a shocker for me.

I just hope in 2021, the Saints front office will proceed with caution on the next big potential paydays … Lattimore & soon to be Free Agent Trey Hendrickson.

Yeah Lattimore strikes me as someone who will want him a big payday and frankly I don't think he's earned it.

He's one of the lazier players I've seen, getting beat off the line week after week.

Ramz deserves top dollar. He's produced at an elite level since Day 1.

Okay, so you're GM, and you've got a cap, would you move Ramczyk to LT and trade Armstead to regain cap space?
