If we could get a big time FA WR, I'd go tackle or DT at pick #18

Honestly, I’d rather draft a receiver. Somebody we get on a cheap contract for a while that could possibly be a star level receiver.

Pushing the bill to later years doesn’t “save” you anything.

“Brandon is an outstanding player,” Mayhew said. “Seven years here, five Pro Bowls. You can’t replace that kind of production. Very, very respected in the locker room and it’s been great getting to know him. It’s my first year here, being around him and seeing his work ethic.
“But I think our fans should know, we’ve made every effort to get something done. We’ll continue to work on that. Last year we made him an offer to be the highest-paid offensive guard in the history of the National Football League.

However, when asked why a deal hadn’t been reached in the past, he didn’t offer much.
“Honestly, I couldn't tell you,” Scherff said. “It's between my agent and here, so I'm just worried about playing football and doing what I can to help this team win.”

When the cap keeps rising, yes it does…

against the salary cap it does because you are converting.
The most elementary way I can explain what the Saints do is: Salary cap DOES NOT EQUAL compensation cap.
Just like in real life football players make a salary, plus additional compensation...Salary is the computed component of the cap...so feel free to get creative and manipulate compensation elsewhere if you are interested.
The key to all of this is ownerships willingness to stroke big checks when called upon.

The casualties will be those free agents the Saints will be underable to resign and/or sign.

Yeah the better option would have been not paying our star players right?

You still have to “pay” those dollars in cap terms.

Laugh all you want, a dollar spent in bonus will still count on your cap. You “save” it from counting this year only for it to hit the following years.

I mean youre just borrowing money from the future. You need an owner with money to do it though since it's a lot of paying upfront

There are 2 advantages to pro-ration instead of immediate cap hits.
1. The cap goes up every year (unless a pandemic hits). That means $1 today is more expensive than $1 tomorrow.
2. The "year you feel it" can always be pushed back and the can kicked down the road. I mean one day will we feel it? Maybe, but we'll likely be in a tear down-rebuild situation anyway so it doesn't matter.

I mean, a lot of these moves are roster bonuses being converted to signing bonuses. You pay both up front.
