The salary cap went up 12 million from 2015->2016 and will go up again in 2017. Brees making 22M is hardly the issue and is pretty standard for a QB of his caliber. The issue with the lack of talent is due to the Saints management, scouting department, coaching, etc.

Only the top 51 players salaries count against the cap. Coach's salaries do not count.
