What you can't blame on Loomis are the injuries to Rankins, Breaux and Kikaha, Danelle Ellerbe's glass body and the rapid decline of Keenan Lewis' health. If the Saints have these guys healthy I think this is a team that probably hangs on last Sunday.

I was very kneejerk in my reactions from the weekend, but the reality is that the Saints have been hit by the injury bug and it manifested in the fourth quarter.

What does this have to do with all the dead money against the CAP? The Saints two prized FA signees from 2015 are now off the roster, but they are still paying them for the next couple of years. They've been paying Jimmy Graham for the past couple of years after giving him a big contract then trading him. I'm sure there are others too that make up that $40 million figure.

We are decimated on that side of the ball for sure. We are snake bitten with injuries year to year.

So, looking at Byrd's contract, it appears that if we wait to cut him on June 1, 2017, his dead cap hit is 3.4 million dollars.
