Dago 3.0 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 good GMs are worth as much a franchise player these days. with the salary floor at 90%, GMs can no longer clear cap space a year or two in advance pending a franchise player such as Matt Ryan needing a new contract....it mostly has to be done on the fly with renegotiating and restructuring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevo Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Correct.In today's NFL you have too worry about the here and now...not the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperAINTSfan Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I dont know, the future comes mighty quick. Whats the specifics on the restructure?signing bonus prorated over the rest of the contract. Saints shaved around 10.5 Mil off the cap this seasonwith these restructures.

Kevo Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Vilma, Smith, Harper and Herring are up next.And I do believe that Brees will wind up restructuring...giving us some leeway to do something in free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Loomis get's it done time and time again.Whats he getting done? He is trying to clean up a mistake he made. He over spent now has to free up money. So they are dropping everyone to min. and extending their bonus to legnth of the contract.You cant have a full team with everyone restructured. You are mortgaging the future for this 1 year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 And I do believe that Brees will wind up restructuring...giving us some leeway to do something in free agency.How? Brees can only do 2 things.1) take a pay cut2) redo his deal adding even more years (which he will be cut by then anyways, so see 1)Brees contract and the way its done (and not about a dozen more peoples are gonna end up crippling the saints next year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st. diehard Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Loomis is juggling the salary of an elite QB.Many GMs would love to trade places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Loomis is struggling with a contract of an elite QB.Many GMs would love to trade places.FIFYMany GM`s will have the same issue thanks to loomis deal because Brees agent represents all the big name QB`s.Dont kid yourself, every team with a great QB is now scared of that contract Loomis did for Brees.

Trouble Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Falcons?Yep, Ravens etc etc. You can Bet the 9`ers arent looking forward to redoing Colins contract either. Nor are the skins.The price only gets higher each year. Unless more people do a Brady and take a pay cut or sign lower deals. That could help keep this agent in check.

The Saints will be fine. They will have a plan in place and another plan for that plan. I'll ask you the same question I asked in another thread, you really think Loomis gave that deal to Brees and didn't have some idea of what they were going to do going forward?

Trouble Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 He knows what he was getting into. But why do you think it took so long to get done? Why was the news reporting the saints tried to low ball brees a couple times?They had to have Brees and his agent knew it. His agent also knew what Elite QB`s made because he represents them.Loomis had very lil control over this deal. His agent had all the control.

His agent had all the control.That's an easy answer, this is still a business at the end of the day. There was never any danger of Brees hitting free agency, Brees knew it, his agent knew it, and Loomis knew it. What they were doing is called posturing, and both sides were doing it. That happens all the time with negotiations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meezy0236 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Please show us where Brady actually took a pay cut.Exactly, Brady just had his whole contract guaranteed, so play, get injured, or cut he gets paid. If anybody in the league made it harder for future contracts, it wasn't Brees' it's the Terrific one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of them have the same agent who is basically holding teams up. Look at big name players the saints have restructuring back their MIN while Brees racks up almost more that the entire O combined.

Honestly though, these so called "elite" qbs have earned the right to demand the money they have gotten and will get in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
