Interesting that the Saints were way over the cap before the season and, like the previous year, cleared over 100 million dollars in cap space. That's how they can afford Mathieu.
Makes we wonder about Baltimore, which failed to get a WR. Lot of WRs still available in free agency, but I can't imagine they have cap space and now have to pay 11 draft picks, including 2 first rounders. But the Saints somehow cleared a huge amount of cap space by kicking the can down the road.
It is a bit perplexing and it is going to be interesting seeing Mathieu in a Saints uniform. Going back to Louisiana so I bet the
Honeybadger is happy. I knew we weren't going after him after our Draft that is for sure. We hedged our bets with Bates by
adding Dax and Tycen.
But it is weird how some teams with without any cap space can add expensive players like this.
