Advocate Staff Report

The New Orleans Saints held the first of three days of minicamps at the team's practice facility in Metairie on Tuesday.

Below are questions and answers from coach Sean Payton and quarterback Drew Brees' sessions with reporters. Topics ranged from running back Mark Ingram, to offseason workouts, to expectations for 2018 and more.

How did Mark (Ingram) do today, coach?

“Well, I think he is in good shape. He did well. (It was) Good seeing him out here.”

Have you all had a chance to visit any more about the situation?

“No, and if we did it would be just between us, but we talked throughout the offseason.”

I've seen Tim Hightower out there as well?

“We have five guys that are out here working out for three days which is pretty common. He's just someone who we will take a look at. Obviously, we're familiar with him. I think we have a kicker, a defensive tackle, and a wide receiver. We have a number of guys that are just here on a three- day workout. It always gives us an idea of where guys are. Oftentimes it helps us with the shortlists grade.” ...

Going into free agency, the New Orleans Saints were set to lose some important players. Paulson Adebo and Chase Young led this group, and with a big transition happening on the Saints’ defense, somehow bringing back at least one of these players should be a goal of this team. The apparent issue is the cap space, and we have already seen that impact. CB Paulson Adebo is set to sign with the New York Giants, per Ian Rapoport

Losing Adebo will have a massive impact on this defense. With Kool-Aid Mckinstry on the outside and Alontae Taylor probably being moved back to slot corner, New Orleans...

The New Orleans Saints need to get to positive cap space by the start of the league year, which is this Wednesday. With moves expected to be made in free agency and the Saints already trading for former Patriots DT Davon Godchaux, more cap space needs to be opened up. The team can do this without destroying next year’s cap space, and being selective in who they restructure is how they do that. The Saints can focus on only restructuring players expected to be on this roster for the next 2-3 years. Usually, this applies to the younger players, but one of the older veterans is the exception...

On Saturday evening, the news broke that the New Orleans Saints decided to restructure quarterback Derek Carr’s contract. With this move, it will save the team up to $30 million but his cap hit in 2026 is expected to be around $69 million, according to Kat Terrell of ESPN.

Before the restructure, the Saints had the option to cut Carr this offseason, which would have resulted in a cap hit of around $50 million. Additionally, if Carr was designated as a post-June 1st release, the cap hit could have been spread over two years. This, however, wouldn't have left much room to sign many free...
