Jesus. That is not what I expected them to do. I mean, it's what I expected them to EVENTUALLY do (push a shitload of dead cap into the post Brees retirement era), but it's a few years sooner than I thought.
The Saints are out of useful players to extend next season (Brees and Unger are taken care of). Jenkins, Lelito, Fairley, and Kruger are the biggest names.
Looking at Brees's contract structure, I think they told Brees that they would go all out in 2017 FA and hit the reset button in 2018, allowing him to get a nice contract elsewhere.
The contract kicks the can WAY more than I thought it would beyond 2017, so I don't expect Brees to retire a Saint unless we go deep in the playoffs/win a SB within the next 2 seasons.

overthecap stuff
Well here is exactly what you asked for before Chad.
Not sure why it's $18 mil in 2019 instead of 2018, but if he is extended it doesn't accelerate.
The same will happen with Fairley if we can extend him also.
But I do need to go look into the details on Brees more. $30 mil signing bonus which comes out to $6 mil per year.
Edit:
Looking at both spotrac and overthecap it seems the 2019 was a typo and 2018 will be the $18 mil hit if he isn't extended.
