Saints Cap Moves: $27,329,433 cap space ….. 8 restructures, 3 extensions, 3 pay cut, 1 release [Wilson Jr. reduces salary, Young’s cap updated]

Good stuff. Thanks.

Still think we have room to squeeze in one more larger salary if we want to, maybe two if we can successfully chop Taysom down a good bit.

Need to save some money for the draft obviously, and maybe a guy like Wilson gets cut later for some in-season wiggle room.

Just realized Justin Reid isn’t inside OTC’s Top 51 table and he’ll replace a top 51 cap hit too like the rest of the UFAs. About 5.3M swapping with a $960k hit. The extra $960k puts the cap space around $23,308,000.

I wonder what’s been holding up Taysom’s reworked deal. His pay cut savings would put the cap room at $32.3M. I guess it’s a matter of finalizing his deal once they’re close in negotiations with another big FA target like a Keenan Allen.
