re: Defensive Cost Per Snap

Saints need to add a clause that says players exceeding $3K per snap owe the team a refund.

1137 snaps X 11 positions= 12507 total snaps. If ya took $60mil for defense (about 1/2 the cap) and divided it by that= $4797 per snap per position. So a player at 90% of snaps= $4317 per snap, 75%= $3598. So $3K isn't that far off. Unfortunately they don't do salaries tied to playing time that close. Occasionally ya hear of one with some playing time thresholds but not that often.
