Carolina has almost $19M in dead money on the books

lol yes JB and SS should still be on the team. Hurney purgatory is the best purgatory.

Hurney cut Steve Smith and traded Beason?

 

can you go back on hiatus please

The Jon Beason contract was so bad. I mean the guy was coming off injury. What was Hurney thinking.

I think he got hurt following his extension.

they knew he had a problem beforehand though

I think he got the achilles sprain in training camp afterwards and the coaching staff stupidly let him play in a boot. I might be mixing up the time line though.

all that money coming off is going to lock up cam and keek, maybe hardy idk.

cam and keek are going to be major deals, we'll see how the contracts are structured to see if we have some wiggle room, but those guys are "have-to" contracts.

so all that cap room that is freed up shortly will just be locked back up quickly. but at least it won't be on aging, devalued, injury prone positions.

A large percentage of this freed up dead money will be used for current contracts. Several of the larger contracts on the team are scheduled to have increased cap hits next year.

I know people don't want to hear this, but our salary cap situation is still about 2 years away from being "healthy".

Actually, they let him play WITHOUT the boot. If I recall, the boot didn't get to Arizona before the game was played(they ordered it) and that is how he tore his achilles.

Jesus, that whole thing was terribly handled from "go" that year.

I wonder if we will make any fall gains or trades before regular season starts.

The real interesting cap figure to watch will be Jimmy Graham if he wins arbitration. The Saints have less than $2 million in cap space and have Graham franchised as a TE at $7 million. If he wins, he'll get $12.5 million. That's $5.5 million that the Saints will have to find room for or sign Graham to the most expensive TE in history and backload his deal like every other player they've signed. Their only option is to restructure contracts since they've already cut most of the cap saving players. All I can say is that the Saints are screwed if the cap doesn't expand at a decent rate over the next 5 years.
