    Since Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma’s suspension starts immediately, the Saints suddenly have an extra $4,932,500 in salary-cap space. That’s the cap figure that his contract was lowered to when he renegotiated his deal on April 20. That could help the Saints work a long-term deal with quarterback Drew Brees. Brees currently has been designated with the franchise tag that counts $16 million toward the cap. This could give them the necessary room to finalize a deal with Brees.

    I don't care what they say, I feel Vilma has played his last season as a Saint. Just can't see him coming back. That would free up money for Brees.
