quote:Not this year. Next year. And the year after that. We're dealing with a salary cap, so the difference between $12 million a year for Butler and $2 million a year for Tre'Davious White or Quincy Wilson will be felt under the cap for the duration of the contract. The Saints have been one of the worst teams in the league at managing the salary cap. This proposed trade in a year when the CB draft class is so strong is a good example of why. I'm not saying Butler isn't a good player. I'm saying he's not worth $10 million a year MORE than Tre White, Teez Tabor, et al.
Who is left in FA this year to spend the money on? That ship has come and gone.

You missed the point where we NEED to win this year to have a chance at keeping Brees. This isn't the year the cheap out.
And if we do what you said and the rookie corner doesn't start or is just a complete bust that could hurt our whole defense, compared to having Butler who could potentially improve it a good bit.
So if we are worried about the salary cap next year then you are missing that we'd have a shite ton more cap because we won't be paying a QB $25+ mil a year. So now it was completely fricking pointless not to spend the money on what appears to be a very good corner.
