2022 cap # - 3.4 mil
2023 cap # - 8.9 mil
2024 cap # - 10.9 mil
2024 dead cap - 5.7 mil
We're on the hook for 2 years, but we have an OUT after that.
We still have a decent amount of money to spend in free agency. We have 16.9 mil still available. Still have to sign our draft picks though. Those are the only 5 contracts yet to be released. Looking very good for us.

Sign Malcolm Brown and L. Murray. DT and RB. Go get another guard I’d be happier cause am already happy with what Dennis has done.

As much as I’d f’ing love to have juice on the saints..
We are one injury away from being very fricked on the O line. We have to add depth there

I don’t think we’re too bad on the line. What’s your take on it?

That is nice.
Ready for camp

If perfectly healthy...our O-Line is fine. An injury or 2 & we're probably screwed

Yeah we need another good OL, especially at guard.

It's kind of bad because it balloons in a big way in 2023 and we're already $42M+ over the cap for 2023
Glancing at 2023, we're not going to have nearly the flexibility. fricking Taysom shitty arse Hill's cap hit will be $9.9M and we can't cut him
Onyamata, McCoy, and Davenport will be FAs, too.

LINK Details on Tyrann Mathieu's $28.3 million contract with the Saints
Here’s another feather in the cap for New Orleans Saints salary cap guru Khai Harley: details are out on the team’s contract with recently-signed safety Tyrann Mathieu, and now we know the three-time All Pro carries a 2022 salary cap hit of just $3.4 million, as first reported by NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill. Hired by Saints general manager Mickey Loomis more than a decade ago, Harley has managed the Saints’ cap dealings to maximize their resources and field competitive teams year in and year out. Fitting an accomplished player like Mathieu under the cap like this is impressive.
Harley helped structure the three-year, $28.3 million deal so that Mathieu is guaranteed his 2022 and 2023 salaries, giving the Saints an exit ramp in 2024 if they want it. But they have options — future restructures are possible, which could free up as much as $4.7 million in 2023 or $6.2 million in 2024 if New Orleans needs it. It’s a good deal for the player that gives the team some flexibility.
Per Nola.com’s Amie Just, Mathieu’s contract also includes a $9.5 million signing bonus and two void years in 2025 and 2026. If he plays out all three years he’s under contract for, it’ll leave behind $3.8 million in dead money once the deal expires in 2025, but that could change if the Saints do a restructure or sign him to an extension. Here are the salary cap hits at the time of signing:
-2022: $3.4 million ($1.5 million base salary, $1.9 million signing bonus proration)
-2023: $8.9 million ($7 million base salary, $1.9 million signing bonus proration)
-2024: $10.9 million ($7 million base salary, $1.9 million signing bonus proration, $1.5 million roster bonus)
-2025 (void): $1.9 million (signing bonus proration)
-2026 (void): $1.9 million (signing bonus proration)
So where does this leave the Saints against the salary cap? New Orleans currently ranks in the upper half of the NFL with $16.9 million to work with, but that number is a little misleading. The team still hasn’t yet signed its five rookie draft picks, which will drop them down to about $10.5 million in cap space. That’s more than enough for the Saints to add another free agent or two at above-minimum salary and carry enough cap space for operating costs during the season.

This is one of the most irritating, pig headed & ridiculous things that SP pulled while HC forthe Saints.
I love TH but that contract was an albatross from the get go & there is ABSOLUTELY no way that ANY other Team or HC would have given TH that type of a deal - NONE!!

It's the 2nd most ridiculous thing. There is actually a worse contract on our team.
CSP is a great head coach, but I do fault him for these 2 contracts. Fortunately, almost every team has worse contracts than we do. These are just the 2 that we botched.

I think RB, OG, DT, & LB are our 4 biggest needs.
Some people will disagree, but I'd actually like an OG more than anything. It's really not even close after thinking about everything.
We have pretty decent depth at RB after Kamara. We got by with less at DT last year, b/c Nielsen is a beast of a D-Line coach. I have a feeling that the coaches like our LB situation, but I'd still like Kwon for the right price.
Besides injuries...bad QB play & bad O-Line play are the only things that can sink this team imo. I'm confident in our defense & skill positions. I'm confident in Jameis as well, but bad O-Line play will affect him negatively. It would also affect the running game.
OG is at the top of my wish list.

I still shake my head about the Project Peat contract.
