Brees renegotiated his salary from $25Mm down to the veteran minimum of $1.075MM while contemplating his future. Ben should do the same.

Do you remember 10-ish years ago when NHL teams got in the habit of skirting the salary cap by signing 34-year old free agents to 12-year contracts to thin out their cap hit? Dead cap is meant to prevent that by forcing teams to keep a player's unpaid guaranteed money on their books. (I think the NHL responded to the Marian Hossa type contracts by forcing a sort of dead cap for players over 35 who sign multi-year deals) That's my understanding of, anyway.I don't really understand it as I don't follow that closely.
What really confuses me is when a player is traded away and the cap hit stays with the old team. I think Philly is on the hook for some ridiculous dead cap amount for Wentz.
Goff is in the same spot, btw; he'll be the highest paid player on the Rams' payroll next year.

Ugh why?? This team has no shot at winning a ring. All this does is push back the inevitable rebuild another year.

How does it work that they can reduce the salary so much? Add years to the contract that he won't play in?Brees =/= dirtbagBrees renegotiated his salary from $25Mm down to the veteran minimum of $1.075MM while contemplating his future. Ben should do the same.

I think it's literally a "we're keeping your current contract, scratching out the 2021 salary and writing in $1.075" kind of move.The Saints are one step closer to getting under the salary cap, according to a Friday night report. As first reported by Jason Fitzgerald at Over the Cap, the team has renegotiated Drew Brees' contract to free up nearly $24 million for the 2021 deficit. The move lowers his base salary to a little less than $1 million.
By bringing his salary down to the minimum the Saints will be able to hold his salary cap charge at $12.225 million while Brees ultimately decides his own future. If he retires the Saints can then hold him on the roster until June 1 and then place him on the retired list on June 2nd, allowing them to split his $22.65 million in dead money across two years- $11.15 million in 2021 and $11.5 million in 2022.

They are beyond help. The away schedule alone is ridiculous, regardless of what roster they can put together with little to no cap space.

Is it cheaper to cut him now?

Cool, spreading it out for another 2 years. Keep pushing the tax collector down the road.
He's a first ballot HoFer, so I see why they did it, and I doubt they'd do this for anyone but the QB, but pull the band-aid like they've done with every other player.

What a world we live in that a 39-year-old millionaire reduced his one-year salary to $14 million and it gets praised like crazy.

It makes him prohibitively expensive to cut this year. It’s a weird deal. They completely ripped up his existing contract. Gave him a new one year deal that pays the vet minimum of $1.075MM in base salary with a signing bonus of $12.95MM. They prorated the cap hit of his signing bonus at $2.59MM per season for five seasons, but the contract is voided after 2021, making Ben a free agent and leaving $10.36MM in dead cap next season, when they have plenty of cap space.
For this season they reduced his cap hit from $40MM to $25MM, but the dead cap hit if the decided to cut him, which they obviously won’t, increased from $22MM to $35MM.
