treeduck Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 New Orleans Saints salary cap: Tough decisions could be on horizon http://imgick.nola.com/home/nola-media/width620/img/saints_impact/photo/16817885-mmmain.jpgFor the New Orleans Saints, getting under the 2015 NFL salary cap will be relatively easy. Getting enough breathing room to pursue free agents, sign draft picks and make tweaks to the roster will require some tough decisions. There are only a handful of players with contracts from which the Saints can extract meaningful savings. (Check out part 1 of our Saints salary cap series on how the team's cap status stands now). To add some cap space, Saints general manager Mickey Loomis will have to use a mixture of cuts and team-friendly contract renegotiations. The contract negotiations often come down to leverage. Let's say the Saints offer a player the choice between tweaking his contract or getting cut. If a player thinks he could command a similar or better salary as a free agent, he might choose the latter option. But often the uncertainty of free agency combined with the security of a familiar team will convince a player to accept a team-friendly contract adjustment. For other players, the Saints might need to rely on future concessions more than immediate leverage. Drew Brees' $18.5 million base salary became fully guaranteed on Wednesday, cementing his team-high $26.4 million cap hit. To chisel away at that total, the Saints would need Brees' cooperation to extend his contract to 2017 or beyond in order to spread out the cap burden. It's not clear if either the Saints or Brees want to pursue that option. The other strategy -- available for Brees or any other veteran with a high base salary -- is to convert a portion of the base salary into a signing bonus that can be prorated. The danger in this "credit card" approach is the burden it would place on 2016. But if the team urgently needs to free up cap space, it's a possible option. Beyond Brees, the Saints don't have much left to cut. Junior Galette's legal status adds some uncertainty to his situation. But assuming the Saints can't void his roster bonus, they would likely convert it to a signing bonus that would make his cap hit a relatively modest $5.45 million in 2015. http://media.nola.com/tpphotos/photo/2015/01/06/16710396-large.jpgNew Orleans Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis speaks to members of the media at the Saints training facility in Metairie Tuesday, January 6, 2015. (Photo by Brett Duke, Nola.com | The Times-Picayune) As for other expensive veterans, safety Jairus Byrd's contract makes him essentially untouchable in 2015 (and likely 2016). Cornerback Keenan Lewis isn't going anywhere, but even if the team did want to find a cheaper option, his contract would offer no savings in 2015. Fifteen of the 60 players who the Saints have signed for 2015 would actually cost the team extra salary cap burden if they were released prior to June 1. That doesn't mean their jobs are all safe, but it means they're not relevant to a cap-management discussion. The Saints have 11 players who would save the team at least $1 million in cap burden if cut between now and June 1. Not all are realistic candidates for being released or having their contracts altered. But if the Saints are to achieve substantial savings, some of it will have to come from this group: Defensive end Cameron Jordan His contract: The Saints exercised the fifth-year option on his rookie contract last year (at the same time they declined the option for running back Mark Ingram). If the Saints had failed to exercise the option, Jordan would be an unrestricted free agent. Bottom line: Jordan's $6.96 million contract will become fully guaranteed on March 10. Jordan plays a high-value position and is likely to explore free agency next summer. Expect this contract to stay untouched. Guard Jahri Evans His contract: Evans' cap number of $11 million has to be sliced down to size. He has a high base salary of $6.8 million that could be partially converted to a signing bonus, but that would put more pressure on the 2016 cap. Evans will be 32 this year, and although he's a Pro Bowl guard and one of the team's all-time greats, the Saints may have to play hardball to force some concessions. Bottom line: The Saints would save $5.65 million by cutting him outright before June 1, but with no ready replacement, they'd probably prefer to bring him back. How much could Evans command as a free agent? That's tough to say. If he's confident in his value, he could balk at taking a pay-cut. Receiver Marques Colston His contract: Like Evans, Colston will be 32 this year and his cap hit of $9.7 million is increasingly tough to justify. Also like Evans, he has a high base salary, but pushing much of that back to 2016 is not an attractive option. Bottom line: The Saints -- and especially Brees -- made it clear they want Colston back in 2015. Colston seemed receptive to the idea of some contract changes. Expect them to find common ground. Guard Ben Grubbs His contract: Grubbs' contract carries a $9.6 million cap hit in 2015, but also contains a lot of dead money that would make it more difficult to cut him outright -- at least until June 1, when they can spread a portion of the burden into 2016. Bottom line: Without a window into the Saints draft or free-agent strategy, it's tough to say whether plan to bring both Evans and Grubbs back. But even if they plan on cutting ties with Grubbs, it might make more sense to wait. Nose tackle Brodrick Bunkley His contract: Bunkley is under contract through 2016 and has a 2015 cap number of $6.11 million. Bottom line: The emergence of John Jenkins has made Bunkley expendable. The Saints could realize $2.45 million in cap savings by cutting him outright. Other possibilities Safety Rafael Bush's deal isn't guaranteed, and while the Saints would probably like him back, they have a glut of safeties. Safety Corey White saw his base salary climb with a performance incentive. If he's back in 2015, it will probably be at a lower salary. Linebacker David Hawthorne has a roster bonus that could be converted into a signing bonus to defray its impact. Of course, if the Saints want to part ways, they would make the move before the roster bonus takes effect. If the Saints need to free up a few extra bucks, part of punter Thomas Morstead's base salary could be converted to a signing bonus.

treeduck Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Five years ago Saturday, the Saints’ daring paid off big-time Posted by Mike Wilkening on February 7, 2015, 1:16 PM EST Super Bowl XLIV Five years ago Saturday, the Saints made their lone Super Bowl appearance in franchise history, and they emerged victorious, pulling away to a 31-17 win over Indianapolis in Miami Gardens, Florida. Super Bowl XLIV was, in many ways, a legacy-making triumph for Saints quarterback Drew Brees and head coach Sean Payton. Brees was spectacular in his first Super Bowl appearance, completing 32-of-39 passes for 288 yards for two touchdowns and garnering MVP honors. He threw just one incompletion after halftime, connecting on 16-of-17 attempts for 124 yards and both TDs as New Orleans outscored Indianapolis 25-7 in the final two quarters. Payton, meanwhile, oversaw a team and coaching staff that made the most of its chance on the Super Bowl stage. The Saints didn’t commit a turnover, and they were assessed just three penalties. They were sound, and they were well-prepared. Most of all, the Saints weren’t scared. The Saints’ onside kick to begin the second half was as bold as it was surprising. If it failed, the Colts — who led 10-6 — would have had the ball around the New Orleans 45. However, Colts wide receiver Hank Baskett couldn’t handle Thomas Morstead’s bounding kick, and Saints safety Chris Reis recovered. Six plays later, the Saints took the lead on Brees’ 16-yard toss to Pierre Thomas. Then, with the Saints holding on to a 24-17 lead late with 3:24 left, the defense made the game-clinching play. On a third-down play, the Saints blitzed, and Colts quarterback Peyton Manning aimed for Reggie Wayne. Cornerback Tracy Porter stepped in front, and he was on his way to a 74-yard touchdown. Porter’s pick-six and the onside kick are part of Super Bowl lore, and they were products of a fearlessness that merits its own place in game history, too.

treeduck Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 New Orleans Saints hire Arkansas RB coach Joel Thomas, report says The New Orleans Saints have hired Arkansas running back coach Joel Thomas, Sports Illustrated reported Saturday. Sports Illustrated's Thayer Evans said Thomas would accept the same position with the Saints, which is currently occupied by Dan Roushar. Thomas has coached running backs for Arkansas since 2013. He signed a contract extension with Arkansas in January through 2016, which reportedly also gave him a raise. Arkansas' rushing offense was ranked 26th last season. The Saints have vacancies at the tight end and wide receiver coaching positions. Roushar coached tight ends while at Michigan State and could be a potential candidate there if the Saints choose to shift his role. The team has not publicly commented on the status of Roushar's job or if his role within the program has changed. Nor have they confirmed the departure of Terry Malone (tight ends) and Henry Ellard (wide receivers). Thomas was a graduate assistant at Purdue during Drew Brees' senior season at the school, in 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) Five tidbits about the New Orleans Saints Super Bowl victory It was five years ago Saturday that the New Orleans Saints triumphed 31-17 in Super Bowl 44 against the Indianapolis Colts. And since it's been five years, here are five things you may or may not know about that magical night: 1. Drew Brees was perfect on the game-winning drive. Trailing 17-16 with 10:39 remaining, the Saints marched 59 yards on nine plays to take a 24-16 lead. Counting the 2-point conversion pass to Lance Moore, Brees threw eight passes on the drive and completed all eight. To eight receivers: Pierre Thomas (5 yards), Devery Henderson (6), Reggie Bush (8), Marques Colston (8), Robert Meachem (6), Dave Thomas (9), Jeremy Shockey (2-yard touchdown) and Moore. In fact, Brees threw only one incompletion in the second half and had a 136.3 rating, and the Saints converted their three drives into 18 points. 2. The Lance Moore 2-point conversion play failed in the second quarter. Down 10-3, the Saints were stuffed at the Colts' goal line near the end of the first half. You may remember Mike Bell and Pierre Thomas getting stuffed from the 1-yard line on third and fourth downs. But the first-down play from the 3-yard line was a Brees pass out to the right to Moore, who makes the catch but is immediately tackled for no gain by cornerback Kelvin Hayden. 3. There were no punts in the second half. The Saints punted twice in the first quarter and the Colts twice in the second quarter. That was it. Not counting the Saints kneeling out the clock, there were only seven drives in the second half: four resulted in touchdowns, two in field-goal attempts and the other ended on downs. 4. 'Ambush' shocked everyone, even the clock operator. The most famous non-scoring play in Saints history, the onsides kick to start the second half, took one second off the clock. That's right, all that madness took just one second. And that second wasn't taken off the clock until 22 seconds after the Colts' Hank Baskett first mishandled the ball. It was as if someone realized the clock hadn't started yet and just ticked one second off. 5. Peyton Manning missed an open receiver on the interception. With the Colts facing third-and-5 from the Saints' 31 late in the fourth quarter, Tracy Porter changed the course of Saints history with his interception return for a touchdown. If you watch the play closely, Indianapolis' Austin Collie runs a slant route over the middle right at the first-down marker, with Malcolm Jenkins in not-so-tight coverage. If Manning targets Collie, it likely results in a first down, and who knows how the game turns out. Edited February 8, 2015 by treeduck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, your team is aging and your depth is eroding. Sorry treeduck, I'm speaking from experience, the Saints are on a rapid downhill fall.You want us to be on a downhill fall I know but it's only happening in your imagination! You long for the SAINTS paper bag days to return. In your mind we'll never have any good players again because of our cap! You guys on the other hand must be Super Bowl bound because you had a good year, and you did have a Super Bowl capable team last season with a 12-4 division winning record but you were gone after the divisional round. A chance squandered! Will it be back to 8-8 next season? Meanwhile it's only the beginning of the good times for the SAINTS! :madra:Barring an injury to Romo, we'll have a better record than the Saints. We are a better team at this point. Last year was no fluke. We have a good foundation finally. It's been a long long time. I don't have any ill will towards the Saints as a team. I love Brees. Ryan is a joke and must have photos on someone in your front office. How else did he save his job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 Jeez treeduck, your team is in salary cap hell. Something the Cowboys have been in several times. It's the all or nothing attitude that puts teams in this position.Naaa we'll be fine, we'll be under the cap by the time free agency comes around and we'll make a few signings as well, our GM is a cap wizard.

One thing you might not understand though (just going back to your earlier point) is this, I don't fear a SAINTS fall like you would, this Brees-Payton era still feels like a new thing to me. I've followed this team since 1982 when they didn't even have a winning season to their name never mind play-off wins! I've been where that fall is for decades! So even a 7-9 season with Brees feels good to my sensibilities! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
