Saints Keep Making !@#*% Space

[SetfreexX]

The #Saints have restructured Drew Brees' contract to clear $10.8 million in salary cap space, as they try to lock down backup QB Teddy Bridgewater and host TE Jared Cook on a free-agent visit today. It's a simple restructure. Brees is still due $23M cash in 2019.

keep pushing all that money back to another year. It'll catch up to them. Not worried about it.

Their roster is like one giant Rent-A-Center.

$41M in dead money next year, after he retires. lolz

For Brees alone, it's over $30 million cap hit next year. They are all in this year. Even Payton might not be there if the Cowboys job opens up next year.

Saints literally "going for broke" this year.

If he retires after this year are they off the hook for the 41 mil?

I think they're hoping Brees plays until he's 50.

I'm no expert, but if he retires maybe?

If he played until he was 50, they would have to forfeit an entire season due to not having any available cap space to pay any players.

Hard to imagine anyone walking away from a 41M dollar payday.
