Saints Cap Moves: Derek Carr restructured, Erik McCoy restructured; J. Williams released; cap space is at -$8,543,537
If Carr is going to be restructured, will it have to be before Monday? Pressumably?
This is just me spit-balling, but I’m starting to think that the team is waiting to see how Monday and Tuesday goes before turning in most of their transactions.
They’ve gotten into the habit of only creating space as they need it.
Obviously we have to get cap compliant, and there probably at least 2 or 3 moves we are going to make no matter what, but I’m guessing at least one of the big contracts, namely Carr’s, may determine exactly how we get there in conjunction with exactly how much space we actively need, if that makes sense.
I.E. Maybe Carr has agreed to a paycut (or some type of beneficial contract modification) but only for certain players or positions. Or maybe we have specific free agent targets, a couple of big ticket ones, and we are prepared to possibly go aggressive on the restructures contingent on how the tampering period goes.
