The legal tampering period starts at 11am Today and the league year at 3pm Central Wednesday.

Gonna see a lot of totally legit no previous tampering signings right off the bat.


Also: BEWARE OF FAKE TWITTER ACCOUNTS. Look for the blue check, and look at the actual screenname before posting

Saints still appear to be $29 Mil over the cap. When's the deadline to be under?

4 PM Wednesday is official start. 12 PM eastern today is start of tampering period.

The deal bombs will start dropping in under an hour.

I wish we could get one of these DTs like Javon Hargrave.

Saints have several contracts they can automatically restructure at any time to get way under the cap…but they will try not to clear much more than they need.

Also waiting on Jameis and MT resolutions.

I don't see us getting super involved in any tier 1 or 2 Free Agent.

We will be like the past few years wave 3 and 4 and beyond players, at best.

Sources: The #Patriots are trading TE Jonnu Smith to the #Falcons, as a former big-ticket free agent heads elsewhere and creates space for New England.

I wanted us to draft this guy years ago instead of taking Rankins in the first. Then when he was a free agent leaving Pitt. Now there’s no way we have money for him.

When the negotiating window for free agency opens in under an hour, the Texans and Raiders are expected to pursue former 49ers’ QB Jimmy Garoppolo, per league sources. Jets also could get in, but they’re in wait-and-see mode right now.

Yep. Still can get another $10m doing this with Lattimore. $7m with Kamara. Hurst $3m.

They could do Peat for $10m if they wanted to as well.

Yep, but I pray not. Still hoping they release him.

Saints been needing a change at guard (changing of the guard) for a while. Sucks with all they’ve invested there, but need an upgrade.
