You don't need to be an ITK to know the Saints have plenty of cash to throw at big name players. They've failed the last two years (except Hanners, but we didn't need to pay overs for him) so why would anyone expect them to give up now?
In terms of salary cap, we certainly did pay overs for Hannebery; he’s on a deal worth between $500K and $800K per season (depending on who you believe). Having said that, I imagine a majority of that would have been frontloaded into this year’s contract, since I suspect we had well over $1M free in the salary cap during the trade period (after Hanneberry’s salary), with the expectation/hope of landing a Free Agent.
