I was curious about their cap space, knowing Brees is eating a large chunk. I also read reports they have their own WR signing coming down the pipe.
They had around 4.987 before Brees restructured. That freed them up to clear another 10.8.
So you’re looking at a little over 15 ... I believe that’s before Bridgewater and Cook. That should eat 3/4 of it. They also just signed Nick Easton for 24 million over four years
With continuing to kick Brees contract down the line, they are in a similar situation next season.
Mike Thomas is also a top 5 receiver making a little over 1 million this year. He is going to cash in next season. So unless they move a ton of people or restructure more, Quinn isn’t a serious option. But I’m not an expert lol
