Man he literally took one for the team. This cut shows his loyalty and I'm glad he's still here because he's worth the money.

He's easily worth that.

Those numbers look drastic, but what about the total money he will/can earn with bonuses and stuff?....How much of a paycut is it, or is it just more of a restructure?.......Sorry, I'm not cap savvy, I need details.

Holy shite that's a huge cut. I thought it would just be this year too. This almost guarantees he stays here next year too and likely retires a Saint.

@Doug yeah you right we do have to see if he got a kick back with a signing bonus (I'm going to guess no and this was his only chance to stay) but I could see them having incentives so that it he plays at a high level we reward him.

Williams or Browner - good possibility

Could be Williams and Browner. I feel like Williams is a lock but I'm trying not to get my hopes up.

I'm glad I was able to target the Saints two top CB (Jackson and Williams) with my top three (had Culliver in between but past issues probably made him unlikely). Means I'm getting closer to cracking the code.

I calculated 3mil cap savings when we didn't know. That is intense...

Its messed up he worked his butt off to get that initial contract and has to take a pay cut. I hope they are taking care of him.
