I dont know...We dont trade for talented players around here so i cant say.We only trade them away and let them walk in Free Agency.
They have some unbelievably bad contracts on that team. DT David Onyemata ($10 million), CB Janoris Jenkins ($14.2 million), DT Malcolm Brown ($6.5 million), P Thomas Morsteas ($4.5 million), LB Kwon Alexander ($13.4 million), TE Josh Hill ($3.5 million), among some others. Jenkins and Onyemata have big dead cap numbers. Some of the others don't. I have to believe the Saints expect Brees to retire or else they wouldn't have signed Taysom Hill to that dumbass contract too. If Brees returns they're paying the two of them $52 million. Not to mention Hill isn't an NFL QB. But otherwise - nah there's no one to really make a deal for. If they want to ship us Ryan Ramczyk I'd do it.
That would depend on who the Saints would be willing to trade and if anybody fits JD’s criteria. Even though $92 million is a lot that number will be shaved down dramatically by releasing older vets and restructuring core players. The Saints are a relatively old team not counting that core group of players (Lattimore etc) from that great draft about 3 years ago. Those guys wouldn’t come cheap in a trade .....
https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-orleans-saints/cap/2021/ Lattimore or Ramcysk look like possibilities because they could be had for our draft capital, while not causing a cap-hit for Saints....
https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/cap/2021/ The Eagles (74m over) may actually be in worse hell, almost all of top contracts come with major cap hits....
I’m a contrarian the 2 teams mired in “cap hell” in this thread both have Super Bowls in the past decade Ill take that The Jets have a lot of room and no titles in 50 years I judge my teams by titles not by made up numbers.
Saints obviously went ALL IN/FUTURE IS NOW/TO HELL WITH TOMORROW on getting one more Super Bowl with Brees. They are going to be in pretty rough shape when Brees retires.
I think the Jets will go after a young guard and wide receiver in free agency. With many clubs over the cap and having to shed contracts it makes sense. But don't expect the GM to sign older guys. He will pass unless a player is in his prime or getting there.
Their safety Marcus Williams should be a target for the Jets he’s a better player than Maye and 3.5 years younger
Saints are in a good position to win another Super Bowl. Although they have the oddest bad luck in postseason. Almost has a Jets-like curse feel to it, how wins have been snatched from them.
Except the Saints cap hell is 11 years after their Super Bowl; hard to argue their cap situation today is somehow tied to any signing even remotely connected to that team.
Not in the saints case. They have been restructuring and back loading contracts for a few years. They are in serious trouble and have to trade several of their better players to get under the cap.With the back loaded contracts, the dead money would still be crippling.
I'm not seeing anything like a $25M cap hit. What I am looking at shows a $3M dead money, but with cap savings. If they cut him before June 1st they would have a $9M cap hit. If you have a cap site saying otherwise I'd like to know which site, to compare numbers.
