Peat reworks contract

As expected.

I know many won't like it but keeping this O-Line together is going to be crucial for Carr this season. And when healthy they're really one of the better O-Lines.

I'm really interested in seeing Penning's progress this season and adding some quality youg depth in the draft.

Ruiz is scheduled to get paid next season and according to some that value could be in the realm of 14mil/yr. The Saints better get a viable replacement for him in this years draft.

I was going to give the front office praise for not kicking this particular can down the road, so that we could finally get out from under his contract. Now we're stuck with an average at best OL that's about to have cap hits of an all pro OG

quote:

---

salary-cap number down to about $8.8 million from his previous number of $18.3 million

Somebody check my math, but he lowered his base to 2.3M so 9.5M is spread out over 23, 24, 25, adn 26? (he has 2 void years)

Cap space is $8.8mm for top 51 and $3.6mm for all per spotrac

ETA looks like they don’t have Saunders or Williams’ figures yet

When I saw the title that meme was the first thought in my head

The feeling should be near unanimous I'd hope.

Even AK, who is clearly declining and facing the age of the RB cliff, at least can create hope.

Peat? No.

I think you gotta get another DT pre draft, probably 2. Right now we have 3 total.

It was both per Triplett. He took a salary reduction then they turned his reduced salary into a bonus and added the void year to spread the cap hit.

say something positive. I dare you

quote:

2024 seems like we are out on him regardless thank God.

After this, I don't know. We may have to sign him to an extension now.

He's a $13.6M dead cap hit on 2024 now unless we re-sign him

It must be exhausting to go to sleep worrying about the saints cap, and then wake up doing the same.

ETA... saints were like 60 million over, and they found a way to sign the qb they wanted, a good rb, MT back, Johnson, and started the process of rebuilding dline. I'm done worrying about cap space.
