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

Is this the article?



They could not have shopped him (or let him "test the market") unless they wanted to eat the full dead cap. So unless I'm missing something, that's a meaningless statement. Maybe "test the market" thing came from Carr's camp. He could've tested every market, it just meant that the Saints would have jumped their 2025 Dead Cap to $90M, and that's before they've made decisions on Ruiz, Hill, Ramcyz, others.

Business szn.

I’m pretty certain that Carr’s side is not dumb enough to believe we’d do a trade and take on his entire cap hit immediately. Logic and common sense dictates that salary modifications would have had to be made to facilitate any deal.
