Saints could get to $14.61 million under the cap without restructuring Derek Carr, after Saints salary cap potentially increases by $5M

It comes down to which poison you want to take.

Restructure Carr and roll with him this season, or restructure all the other aging vets and risk paying them in a year or two when they aren't here anymore.

We're already paying Michael Thomas, Jameis Winston, and Marshon Lattimore not to be here.
