Salary Cap Check In
Posted on 7/23/13 at 8:06 am
Posted on 7/23/13 at 8:06 am
2013 Adjusted Cap Number: $124.619 million (11th-lowest adjusted cap number in the NFL in 2013)
2013 Cap Room Remaining: $5.173 million (11th-lowest available cap space, as of July 22)
Long-Term Cash/Cap Outlook: The Saints' front office will be busy getting salary cap compliant before the start of the 2014 league year. The "Top 51" contracts for next season currently have $143.396 in salary cap commitments, the second-highest total in the NFL, trailing only the Dallas Cowboys. That figures includes $13.9 million for Smith, who is due a $1 million roster bonus on the third day of the 2014 league year and is slated to earn a $10.4 million base salary in the final year of his contract. The Saints have only 41 players under contract for the 2015 season, but have $129.1 million in salary cap commitments, the second-highest total behind, you guessed it, the Cowboys.

The 2014 outlook isn't great but weren't we 2nd highest in cap at the beginning of free agency? Loomis made moves, signed players, and we're now at 11th lowest now. So don't worry about the 2014 number, he'll take care of it. Just Will Smith will save $10mil+ in cap next season.

Can't lie - Loomis does seem to pull you guys from the jaws of doom year in and year out.

How does this fat piece of crap get paid this much?

It would be fantastic if the rookies and guys like Gallette really pan out this season. If I'm remembering one of your posts earlier in the offseason, 14 and 15 were the tough years before the cap is expected to go up.
