Saints still have $37 Million in 2026 Cap Space next year

Even with all the contract restructures, we are set not to be in the red next year for the first time in a long time (Over the Cap). While it'll likely go down a bit if we make some more moves, we have $37 million in cap space in 2026 (before the yearly cap increase).

Yes, we'll have to fill out some roster spots that will require spending money, but for the first time in a long time we will have real flexibility.

All the press doom and gloom about "salary cap hell" is basically already over. We've made it through.
Agree. The only down side is that when it is said and done, we will likely be one of the oldest teams in the league. But on the flip side, we are MUCH closer to being able to deal with that.
