The Saints were thought to have around $20 million in cap space before tagging Drew Brees. Now, after receiving the exclusive franchise tag, Brees will make around $16 million -- making it difficult for the Saints to make other moves. The Saints have FAs like G Carl Nicks and WR Marques Colston to sign as well.
