Yeah I think people who don't grasp the salary cap system are conflating different concepts - the Saints are in "salary cap hell" but that doesn't mean there's no way for them to get under the cap. There must be a way - that's the whole point - if there wasn't then the team would not be able to conform to the salary cap and faces severe penalties like having further space taken away in future years, fines, losses of draft picks, contracts canceled... etc.
I think some people are just trying to say "don't worry, the Saints can still become compliant this year" and it's causing uninformed people to interpret that as "oh cool, everything is perfectly fine" but it absolutely is not, at least not long-term.
The Pats with 3 million in dead cap debt entering 2022, positive cap space (no matter how small) and a QB on a rookie deal for the next three years are in worse shape than New Orleans…The Saints can restructure contracts and not only get under the cap without cutting anyone, they can end up with over $20 million in cap space next year.
The Pats are in a much worse cap situation.
I think Payton is going to Dallas, its just a matter of time until Jerrah makes the deal with the Saints.
Yeah it's just economics, which I don't think is most peoples' strong suit.Probably the same people who celebrate getting a one-year grace period on their refinanced loan at twice the APR.
