Saints Cap Moves: $33,780,933 cap space ….. 8 restructures, 3 extensions, 3 pay cut, 1 release [All current cap moves are in OP below line]

Why are they trimming the cap with a fine toothed comb? Why is having 32 mil under is better than having 31 mil under? Why kick Cedric Wilson can right now? Due diligence or something else?
I know it is a small amount, but don't forget the unused cap money for the year adds to next year. So any saving is a good one, even if the money is not spent this year.
