salary cap hell!

Saints haven’t desired a prime free agent in at least a decade while they’ve already invested a 1st-2nd round pick at the position in the most recent drafts.

They can absolutely sign any FA who they want to clear cap space for. They’ve shown that they can by signing Mathieu and Carr to big $ at important positions while beginning the offseasons in deep negative cap.

Making it seem like the Saints can’t make moves due to restructures simply because we don’t like the future consequences doesn’t mean they can’t make significant moves.

They can clear space for any top FA that they want if they haven’t invested premium draft picks into the positions.
