for horribly managing the salary cap and just throwing away money for years now. Especially with a HOF QB and you are wasting his final years.

After releasing C.J. Spiller, the Saints are now carrying ~$40M of dead money on their 2016 salary cap.

— Field Yates (@FieldYates) September 13, 2016
Almost 1/3 of the cap in players not on the team. The Saints almost have enough dead money to start another football team.

That is what's called wasting three to five precious years of a Hall of Fame quarterback that you can never ever get back.

We've shed the dead real quickly and will give this franchise a future while Brees still under center. The ignorant bitching is laughable. Everyone was fine with Spiller being dead weight on bench but not cut.

And to think Benson is letting Loomis get control in the Pelicans organization too. My god, what does Loomis have on Benson?

Do we have the most dead money of any team? Is it even close?

If Benson wasn't so old and just disconnected from the team, Loomis would be gone and Payton as well. Not calling for Payton yet, but Loomis for sure has long out stayed his welcome.

Listening to the radio now and it's really sickening how incredible Brees played...and they still lost.

I'm really sick of people constantly defending Loomis and his terrible decisions.

Looking at you, Lester.

Maybe that's why Brees was willing to agree to a mere one year extension.

Legit question as I don't really know how financials work with all of this stuff. What do we gain other than a roster spot by cutting CJ loose? Anything?
