Yes but of those restructures DD and Mathieu will be in that #. Guys that should not have their contracts touched due to being on the decline. DD and Mathieu should be left to play out their contacts without being force to keep them due to cap considerations.
That 10 mil from the additional restructures and releases will be enough to pay for the draft class but not to resign even our own FAs like Adebo, JJ , Harris , MVS not to mention any other FAs. Then there's the QB position. Are we going to waste 5-10 mill on a cheap vet QB, or start Rattler and pretty much have a throw away season? If so is that a good way to start CKM's career with the Saints?
I think we restructure DC this yr , sign our own FAs and maybe a couple upgrades, not restructure the aging players. Compete for the NFCS. Then revisit the DC situation next yr. CKM gets a yr to evaluate Rattler and look for a long term QB answer. Also the cap is going to be going up at least 22 mil next yr making it easier to absorb DC's contract even if it's a 6/1 cut
