Tony Diesel Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Will someone please explain the swamp rat Aints salary cap situation and how they are getting away with this crap?The NFL salary cap will be $143.28 million in 2015.According to overthecap the Aints are less than 1 million under the cap WITHOUT counting the contracts of Dannell Ellerbe or CJ Spiller.http://overthecap.com/salary-cap/new-orleans-saints/According to spotrac the Aints are 4.3 million OVER cap WITHOUT counting the contract of CJ Spiller.http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-orleans-saints/cap/I thought the NFL rejected contracts if the team was in cap violation?SERIOUSLY, what gives?!?!?!

marvinthemartian Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 It's the Katrina clause in the NFL. If it benefits the Saints it's ok no matter how obvious the double standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RYNE Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I think it goes to show something that I have always said.The cap is just numbers... You can always find a way to finagle the deal and kick the can down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Diesel Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 i see ellerbe for 8.425 mil baseCorrect, on spotrac and it puts them 4.3 million over.. AND that's not figuring CJ Spiller contract in (4yrs/18million) On overthecap they don't figure in either Ellerbe or Spiller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navin Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 It's been 24 hrs since someone started a new thread for Kroy, so I'm sure nobody would mind if you had made a new thread about him. /purple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falcon82111 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 The NFL picks favorite teams and let's them do whatever and get by but the Falcons are not on this list. Roger Goofoff needs to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Old Pappy Falcon* Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 IDK, it seems to me they get a pass year in and out with signing's and contracts. Say what you will about the number's, but it always seems like a head scratcher. Tainted azz mudda...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People just don't seem to notice when they cut a ton of scrubs every year and ask players to take pay cut and restructures. Theyll get a little cap room then bring in free agents on back loaded contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lornoth Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 A few people (professionals) pointed out they couldn't have done these moves without having something else in the works. It's probable that they're restructuring Ellerbe and have a few other pay cuts or contract restructures in the works that just haven't been made public yet.
