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

meily said
The increased cap can help ease the blow of moving away from Carr and other vets that no longer fit the direction of the team going forward.

And a 22 mil increased cap next yr makes it easier to restructure DC this yr , pay whatever we pay him this yr and revisit cutting him next yr and not handicap the team this yr
