So if what other poster is saying about Galette is true, we only need to trim 12 mil to get under. Good game Loomis, good game.

So now what's the time table for all of the cap trimming shenanigans to occur?

Knowing the Saints they likely already converted the bonuses to get us to the cap and just didn't announce it yet.

This has always felt like a "Loomis knows exactly what he's doing" kind of thing.

I can't wait for the Saints to get under the cap and then sign some CB for millions and the media is like WTF?!

Any word on a Brees restructure/extension? Or is that old news that I missed?

Every time I see those experts going apeshit over the Saints salary cap, I just picture Loomis sitting in his office with all of the contracts already signed, and waiting for the start of FA to submit to the league, laughing at everyone.

From the sounds of it Brees isn't getting touched so it looks like some cuts and/or pay cuts are coming.

Didn't think it would be so high. Makes Morestead's $3.4M cap hit look like a bargain.

And, we have Graham (who I hope is beat out in camp) & Morstead on the books for a total cap hit just under $4M.

We only have until 4pm to use franchise tag.

Dont know who we would use it on even if we wanted to.

We are not spending $10.9 on Ingram or $13 on PRob so....

We had the option of having Ingram for about $5m had we picked up the 5th year option and we declined, so yeah no way Ingram gets tagged.

And we have no one else even worth considering so we won't see it used until Jordan gets tagged next year.

Well Devin Mccourty didn't get tagged so what would y'all think about bringing him in?

We just have to hope Jordan and Hicks don't both have monster years (unless we win the SB) this year otherwise one likely won't be back.

Outside of those two it's a pretty cheap FA class for us like this year.
