So apparently there's talk the salary cap is going to be much higher than it was projected to be a while back, somewhere around $133 million, possibly up to $135. That 's huge for some teams, especially Dallas. I'm a Saints fan and it's a huge help for us too, though we're not remotely close to Dallas' situation; we are technically under the cap right now and a bigger cap the next few years would help keep guys like Graham and Jenkins rather than just one of the two depending on the contract structures, though imo Brees still HAS to have a Bradyesque extension to not have that nightmarish $27 mil cap figure or whatever it is in 2015. I'm still a little torn on Jimmy Graham though; people talk about how he didn't do squat in some big games, which is true, but it's hard to play well against a dominant D like Seattle when you're playing through a torn plantar fascia in both games. I just don't think he should be paid like a WR because the TE position just isn't what it used to be.
Although he really does need to work on his blocking. He sucks at it and I would take a healthy Gronk's blocking ability all day. I remember the AFC Championship a few years ago where Gronk just DESTROYED Terrell Suggs.
Also apparently Joe Banner wanted the offensive and defensive coordinators to report to him instead of Mike Pettine. Good riddance if that's true, he absolutely deserved to be fired.
