Social media reactions to this week’s Saints news

"The Saints are going to have $40M in dead cap before free agency even starts. ... When 25% of your salary cap is allocated to players who aren't on your team every single year you don't have enough talent."

I have no problem with analysts disliking Saints cap management (even the Ponzi scheme line).

The part that's wrong is suggesting they spend 75% on talent/25% on dead money every year. They actually push back the dead-money bill each year (at no interest) to keep spending 100%. https://t.co/uHIdA3QvoU

PFF grades are not the best indicator of success, but they're useful at a glance in comparing Khalen Saunders and Nathan Shepherd against the Saints DT's last season: pic.twitter.com/Y3cjrR7YtS

Judging by that contract, Dennis Allen has a certain vision for Nathan Shepherd.

He was great depth and was with us for a while. Good luck to him. Saints are a good place to land.

A (literally) big addition for the #Saints: DT Khalen Saunders is expected to sign with New Orleans, sources tell me and @RapSheet.
