The Saints have restructured the contracts of QB Taysom Hill, CB Bradley Roby, LB DeMario Davis and S Malcolm Jenkins to clear major cap space, per source.
The Saints are now officially at $29.9M in cap space
Let that sink in to all the handwringers about the cap and player X,Y,Z's contract. Two and a half weeks ago the Saint were $71 million over the cap. They have now cleared $100 million in cap space without having to cut a single player. The cap game isnt played like it was in the good ole days. It is such a fluid thing now with how it can be manipulated.
Eventually teams playing w/ the cap will have to pay the fiddler, the Saints highest paid
player (cap-wise) is some guy named Dead Money. His cap hit is $29,384,318, two times higher then both Thomas’ & Jordan‘s …!
