New Orleans Saints rank among league's highest 'spenders' | - NOLA.com
There are several reasons why the New Orleans Saints haven't been aggressive buyers in the free agent market, but one of the biggest reasons is that they already rank as one of the NFL's biggest spenders with the players already on the books.
According to a report by Pro Football Talk and NBC Sports, the Saints' salary-cap figure would be $135 million right now if there was a salary cap in place - the second-largest in the NFL. General Manager Mickey Loomis said Monday that dollar figure is not accurate, but he did confirm, "Our cap number would be high."
"Relative to a lot of the other teams, we're higher than the halfway point. I'll say that," Loomis said, not offering a specific number.
I guess this is one reason why they're being so conservative in the free agent market.

It’s probably straight from PFT but since they don’t want to quote a “not so legitimate” source, they also throw in NBC Sports, their official affiliate.
