We weren't kicking can when we had the mega cap space in 2006 to acquire Drew Brees. We were in the opposite position.

Those moves and some restructuring got the Saints far enough under the cap to franchise Graham as a tight end (in advance of his grievance to be treated as a wide receiver), sign their draft picks, and field an active roster. New Orleans entered free agency with about $2.5 million in cap space, which is why nobody expected it to target much of anything in free agency, let alone Byrd. It was a surprise when Byrd visited New Orleans and even more of a surprise when he stayed, signing a deal that guaranteed the star safety $26.3 million. How do you sign a player everybody wants without any cap space? You get creative.

In short, Saints been doing this and we’ve been a top ten program in the NFL for some time now.

Learn sports pussies.

And shut the frick up.
