Saints Cap Moves: Derek Carr restructured, Erik McCoy restructured; J. Williams released; cap space is at -$8,543,537

Mr. Coach Klein said
I doubt there's a single person that thinks this was to cut him this year. If there is a person then they don't understand the cap.

Making him post 6/1 next year now only leaves us with 20MM in dead money and saves us 50MM in cap space.

Unfortunately you can't use that money until 6/1. Wonder if it makes more sense to just take the hit all in one year and save the $9 million versus spreading it out over two years.
