Saints Cap Moves: $27,092,090 cap space ….. 8 restructures, 3 extensions, 3 pay cut, 1 release [All current cap moves are in OP]

Regardless of the option, they did not extend, spread, and trade.
Too much of a PITA.

They bought 12 months to figure out how to wrestle with his 2026 $70M cap number. Can't wait!

I think if he’s good in the new system, you work to give him a reasonable 1 to 2 year extension to buy yourself a little more bridge QB time. If he’s bad, you cut him with a 6/1 designation and go all-in on a new passer in the draft or next year’s free agency/trade period.

What’s defined as “good” or “bad” will need to be evaluated by the team, in conjunction with the team results.
