I guess Verner and Johnson for Revis isn't too bad.
Well he's getting cut tomorrow. Worth us still throwing our hat in, maybe Pettine helps here.

What happened to your name? lol
Yeah at that outrageous contract he'd need to take a huge pay cut. Now he'll get less, but still a considerate amount. Let's see Farmer get creative here.
Even with those cuts, the Saints only had about $2M in cap space, according to http://overthecap.com/teamcap.php?Team=Saints&Year=2014.
Not sure how they are pulling this off

Loomis made that shit happen. Wow
Well losing sproles and pierre thomas will save some money
My guess is bonus and heavily back loaded

Sproles is getting traded which is 3.5 million off the books. Pierre Thomas could still be cut which is another 2.5. If they structured the contract so Byrd's hit in 2014 is fairly low it's completely doable.
Worth repeating: Wait until you get actual contract details/breakdowns. Until then, they're just flashing big meaningless numbers up on the twitter-sphere.
Speaking of which, Verner deal works out to about 6 million/yr. That's....pretty damned reasonable.

They can't use Sproles money until they actually get rid of him though.. right?
Loomis is magic.

Whoever we get at safety will be an improvement over Delmas IMO. CB is tough....we've stacked a collection of young guys, most of whom looked completely lost last season; Slay and Bently rarely even look to see where the ball is going. Hopefully the coaching upgrade will benefit them. With respect to the draft...is it worth it to use a top 10 pick on a corner unless he's a sure thing? I don't see a Patrick Peterson type dude in this draft. If we draft Justin Gilbert is that really going to help us this year?
The Lions have a 2-3 year window IMO. If we can't do anything during Megatron's prime then we're fucked. Basically if Caldwell can't fix Stafford it's game over.
More than reasonable, that's a great deal (obviously assuming he stays healthy). Like Colasante said above, Sam Shields is making 4/39...

Considering the Saints' cap situation, Jairus Byrd will be signing a 36-year contract.
bwhahahaha
That does help some, but they would still need to allocate about $5M for draft picks, plus any other holes on the roster. Depends on the contract, but it seems like a really tight fit.

Dont remember brees' contract off the top of my head, any chance he restructures?

He locked up a great player with a power agent, who has improved every year, and made it cap friendly.
He read the market just fine.
Gilbert is worth it at #10 IMO. He has obvious physical gifts that are hard to replicate.
He really worked hard last year and the results were tremendous both at CB and on special teams.

Last I looked a the league numbers, draft picks run about 2.2-2.6 million. Remember only the top 46-53 contracts count at the start of the league year and as you move into training camp. All 90 players you bring into camp don't count.

:jnc , Gata finally got one
How in the hell do you have ZERO defensive lineman? And they went to a 4-3! Or did Jerruh change that again?

If they don't sign one of them, or both, then Brady can pretty much hang it up.
bender
What time is it?
No reason to be. I'd be happy to not face him twice a year anymore as well.
Ware is cut to save 7 million, Spencer was franchised twice so he's now a free agent, Hatcher is a free agent. We still have Selvie, Hayden and Crawford. We are going for back to back "worst defense in the league" titles.

Maranelli is the defensive coordinator now so yeah, still a 4-3. Monte Kiffin may or may not still have a pulse. They're checking (may cut him if he doesn't and save some cap space).

I'll be curious to see how much Byrd is getting in New Orleans. Its not like the Bills low balled him with their offer.

I thought Kap was making less than that, but damn.
Yeah, this is my guess, maybe him and some of the Guards restructure, guess the Saints know their window with Brees is right now for just a few more years.
But that $2M number is just for first round picks right? I would assume at least their first 3 picks make the 53 man roster, that would add up to around $5M for the 1st 3 picks. Curious to see how they make this work.

blame "the game" gabbert gonna take care of business!
p.s.
there is a less than zero % chance that blame makes that $2 mil this year. just as we did with last years weird trade for colt "the boy" mccoy, we will jew him down to near league minimum
They need a vet CB.
I could see them resigning Cro before Revis though.
