they'll restructure
edit: by my quick back-of-the-napkin math, they can clear up to $103,327,015 worth of space by restructuring the contracts they have on the books. they can also clear $34.293,164 through cuts.
They need to start by firing Dennis Allen. He’s awful.
This happens every offseason with the Saints. Eventually, the bill is going to be due. New Orleans is more than likely looking at four or five years of being the worst team in football and no cap space to sign anyone. That's not going to happen until Mickey Loomis gets shown the door though.
It’s not “eventually coming due.” The salary cap rises every year. All they’re doing is borrowing cap space from the future since a dollar now is worth more than a dollar then.
More teams should be doing it that way.
cap is increasing by a large amount every year. contracts are backloaded so any dead money/hits will happen when we have that extra large amount.
Unsuccessfully.
