I've look everywhere but can't get an answer if this also means IF traded that means he can play for his new team OR is he locked into that PUP status no matter what happens.
If Ramczyk is ready to come back soon this is one contract that would save the Saints cap if traded.

Eh.
When you owe the bank $30,000, they have you buy the balls. When you owe them $3 million, you have them by the balls.
The Saints cap sheet is such a catastrophic shit show at this point that any attempts to "salvage their cap situation" is using a garden hose on a forest fire.
That things gonna burn to the ground either way. All you can do is let it run its course and burn itself out. [Reply]
Phins are done and could trade Terron Armstead and let the rookie LT they drafted take over.
Armstead would be a great LT to finish out this year and would still be under contract for another two years with zero guaranteed salary. This would give more time for Kingsley to develop while also throwing Morris over at RG and letting Smith go get paid by another team. [Reply]

I'm not sure why they hired him in the first place. Dude's never been good at anything.
Allen is actually a good DC, just not HC material. Seems like plenty of guys got HC jobs over and over because they did well as OC/DC then never could live up to the HC spot. Norv Turner and Wade Phillips have to be the poster children. [Reply]

Uh, you do realize that Tua has a concussion issue, right? And somehow you think it's reasonable that MIA would consciously let go of their LT and start a rookie LT, exposing Tua to more hits? Do you always drink this early in the day? [Reply]

What is just so mind numbingly stupid is New Orleans had an easy fall guy. Hire Dennis allen as a favor to Allen, Payton and Brees. Tear the roster apart. Blame him when he can’t win with a rebuilt roster. Then 2-3 years later hire a coach eager to take on a clean roster without all the dead weight
Trying to squeeze the last drops out of a lemon is like when we tried to run it back one more time with Damon huard. Charging on a credit card when you’re already tapped out of credit is dangerous shit. The kind you do when you have a few years left with Brees or Brady or rodgers, not shit you pull with Dennis ****ing Allen and Derek Carr [Reply]
The Saints are such a mess. About $60M over the cap next year. They only have two players who will save more than $3M if cut and 6 if increased to $2M. They need a few players to retire and Derek Carr to agree to help them out.

I was trying to figure out how many balls you'd have to buy to get to $30k, but then I figured out what you meant.
