Below are my answers to last weeks reader questions submitted Thursday. Special thanks to all those that participated. Feel free to continue the discussion on any of these topics in the comment section below.
Is Will Smith gone? - Sylvain G.
Personally, I think so. If the Saints really are tight against the cap and need to free up some money, Smith's $7 million contract is a fair place to start. He's also due a $1 million roster bonus on March 27th. Unless Smith is willing to re-negotiate or the Saints are able to work some magic with this cap carryover loophole, he'll probably be a casualty.
New CBA gives teams the right to carry over cap space automatically | ProFootballTalk
Under Article 13, Section 6(b)(v) of the CBA, each team may carry over any remaining cap room from one year to the next by submitting written notice, signed by the owner of the team, to the league office no later than 14 days before the start of the next league year. The written notice must indicate the maximum amount of cap room that the team wishes to shift from one cap year to the next.
Anyone know how much cap room we could potentially carry over?
The Fate of Shawn Payton
by HansDat on Feb 12, 2012 6:49 AM CST
On January 28, I linked to a nola.com story about one interestingly named Detroit Lions fan, Shawn Payton, whom law enforcement officials had questioned in relation to a pair of threatening phone calls made to the Louisiana Superdome during the Saints-Lions playoff game on Wild Card Saturday.
Well, it's now two weeks later, and the Wheels of Justice have continued turning. Friday saw an update of Shawn Payton's legal status appear from the Associated Press on the sunherald.com (Biloxi-Gulfport and South Mississippi's news leader).
Given the interest this drew the first time around (at least from me), I feel it is my blogger-journalistic duty to stay on top of this story and keep you apprised of the details of it.

Will Smith If Sama says it's good I may need to see it. RT @usama_young28: Just saw Safe House... Best movie of the year so far.
Chase Daniel Just killed it in the kitchen! Now, onto bowling! Hopefully I break 150 haha! lockerz.com/s/182608788

Malcolm Jenkins headed out for some fresh air!
deuce mcallister Low Fuel Bro. Low Fuel
Will Smith Agreed! RT @BillyMiller83: "@iWillSmith: What's your favorite Mardi Gras parade?"-- The one after we won the Super Bowl hahaha
For those of you that live in the New Orleans area, be sure to come out and catch the Krewe of Caesar parade tonight on the traditional Metairie route. I will be on Float #11, neutral ground side, bottom level. Anyone with a "Dave" or "Canal Street Chronicles" sign gets hammered with beads.
The 2012 Offseason Blues: How Will You Beat Them?
by HansDat on Feb 11, 2012 6:01 AM CST
OK, the dreaded time is finally here. There is absolutely no NFL game of any sort coming on this weekend, so it's now officially the 2012 NFL Offseason.
Can I get a "GAAAAAAAA!"? I feel better now. Not much, but some.
Our minds, bodies, and souls must shift into a whole different mode of operation. Instead of a daily and weekly pattern of happenings and events, it's a much more drawn out framework that instead unfolds over weeks and months at a glacial pace.
Make the jump to dig into this some more with me...
