2024 5th round LB Jaylan Ford may be an underrated gem in new Saints defense

He has no choice but to convert salary into bonuses. It's in every contract a Saints player signs. The team can do it at their will. But honestly, it's likely going to take more than that for Cam to stay. He's likely going to have to take a significant salary cut in the range of 50% down to $6 or $7 million.
Yessir. And I am hoping he acts as he’s said he wants to retire a Saint and is willing to act accordingly. And I think he will, knowing what an all-time NOLA hero he would become. … Think about the Who Dat Mt. Rushmore … a favorite of mine, Ricky Jackson, left because he wanted a ring … I don’t blame him for that, which is why he’s still a favorite … but from all indications I know of, Cam wants to stay … and I for one hope it happens.
