So doesn’t he have to sign by a certain time or we lose 12 mil in cap space? I thought that was today.

If he isn’t signed by WED 4pm, the Saints will have 18 mil in dead money

Per ESPN

But Wednesday is a serious deadline not only because Brees will be free to sign elsewhere. If he remains unsigned, then $18 million in dead money from his old contract will immediately start counting against New Orleans' 2018 salary cap. The Saints obviously would prefer to work out a new contract before then, allowing them to spread out Brees’ cap costs into future years.
