Not sure where they got these numbers, or how true they are... but have at it.

quote:

The new deal actually reduces Brees’ cap number dramatically, from $16.37 million to $10.4 million. Next year, his cap number will be $17.4 million. In 2014, the cap number will be $18.4 million. By 2015, when the new TV deals from 2014 hit the cap, Brees cap number will be $26.4 million. In the final year of the deal, the cap number becomes $27.4 million.

The last two years will be re-structured, almost certainly.

Thats what I was thinking, would be murder on the cap if not.

Got to take them one season at a time.

Yeah, restructuring will occur most likely.

Maybe not, the tv money will kick in by then and the salary cap will be much higher

I doubt it. You can only restructure so much with such a massive bonus.

Agree. It will either be cut in 3 years or they pay it.

Unless we plan on extending Graham this year, I don't like the lowering of the cap hit from ~$16m to $10m. The roster is pretty much set, we're not going to need it, so why not free up a little more space down the road?
