they feared the beard

Fear the beard.. 's dead money cap hits.

Now that June 1 has passed, the Saints could cut Galette and keep his 2015 cap number at $5.45 million, with another $12.1 million in dead money counting against next year’s cap.

It’s possible the Saints could try to fight to get some of that money back, especially if Galette is suspended. But it’s not easy for teams to recoup signing bonus money that has already been paid out -- even when there are detrimental-conduct clauses that nullify future guarantees.

now let's strike up the chorus about jr only wanting a team of choir boys and how the panthers don't want to win because they're not even going to look at him

Our defense has the potential to be top 5 this season while every other team in the division may struggle to crack the top 20.

Lol i wonder what Brees thinks of this team now

That should help. Now if someone can just come up with a video of Cameron Jordan smacking woman around, we should be set against the saints.

Regardless, while he may not be facing Anthony Munoz in his prime, he won't be lining up against a French Canadian in his first game in the United States.

brb going to laugh at saintsreport now.

You won't find any tears there. Most of us have been waiting for this move. 

It certainly doesn't make us any better on the football field. Sometimes things are bigger than that though. This guy has proven to be a complete ass since he signed his contract. Good for him. He got his money. Good for the Saints for stepping away.

I'm shocked those clowns did the right thing. I doubt Coach Zoolander and his Fat Elf sidekick D-coordinator are happy about it. I hope Loomis chokes on the dead money next year.

This is faptastical. The toilet dome is steadily sinking further and further. I guess I can become a vendor for paper bags and be a millionaire like the Robinson family :D

A heavy dose of Vicodin will help ease the pain.

True no matter the damage cap was going to be it was, not worth the PR hit.  Smart move (props to y'all now watch Dallas sign him) and btw fug the Saints :D

And his backup is a rookie. We know how rookie defensive ends play. This is excellent.
