Saints up to date salary cap situation

Warford salary this year is 7.75 million and 5.125 million dead money for 12,875 million this year that's a lot to pay a # 2 guard.

I think any trade is worth considering because it’s a lot of money. But releasing him isn’t nearly as sensible. Having him over releasing him only costs $7.75M. The rest is a sunk cost - you pay the dead money either way.
