Saints restructure Ellerbe's contract

I like

hopefully they restructure the entire contract to play time based

Fixed.

It sounds like we should be pretty well under the cap already right?

He really had no leverage here with how trades work. No way was be seeing that much $$ on the open market

I actually hope we hit him for 2 years

Hopefully Ellerbe can stay on the field.

"Blessed to see another day!"

I want da numbers

If we extend Drew Brees, there won't be many players we can't fit under the cap.

I'd rather sign a FA guard and add some depth to the dline.

Very good for both parties imo. He's a beast when he's on the field

For reference, he was set to be a $5.2 million hit in both 16 and 17 (would have been cut instead)

Now will be:
$3.2 in 2016 and 2017. So we just freed up $2 million while keeping a starter

If Browner is a post June 1st cut, we're under the cap for 2016.

2.7 mil freed up and if he stays hurt this year it gives us the ability to void his contract next year.

Is it a foregone conclusion we are dumping Spiller?

Nothing was ever released on why he was not utilized more...did the injuries from Buffalo diminish his ability as a game breaker? Was he in the doghouse? or is it possible Sean was giving him a full year to recover as it has been noted in some prior cases that the knee does not fully bounce back immediately.

Seems like we committed to him financially being here at least another year...I would like to take him to training camp with us just to see if he has any fight in him. A cut before hand would just be incredibly disappointing.
