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

Practically all NFL veteran contracts have restructuring clauses in them, it isn't unique to the Saints. It's irrelevant that our strategy is different, the chart shows how much space each team could create if they decided to copy us and go on a restructuring spree like we do.

Which they won’t, because they want to maintain the illusion of a healthy cap.
