NOF: Saints in position to get under the cap with ease and create another $30+ million in cap space to add new players

Saint Spud said

They would all restructure before retiring to make it work.

But it’s also a straw man because two of those players have zero chance of retiring.

Why would they retire when we are being forced to hand them large amounts of guaranteed money in the late stage of their careers? Our hands are tied and they know it. If not for dead money, Cam would be gone after this past season. Not many, if any, teams are throwing additional guaranteed money at 35 year old declining defensive players like we'll have to do. It might be a decent way to get over the top when your championship window is still open, but pretty bad when you have a long way to go to get better.
