Saints Cap Moves: $32,555,433 cap space ….. 8 restructures, 3 extensions, 3 pay cut, 1 release [All cap hit updates are in OP]

I know you have long thought they were going to really spend big in free agency this year, but at this point I don't know who they would spend money on that would use up that cap space. I think they created it for Ward and/or Kupp and are keeping it going either because they want to roll it over or they plan to give new deals to guys that are on the roster right now and can front load them if they have a bunch of cap space they don't need this year. i.e. Alontae Taylor, Shaheed, Olave, and/or Penning.

I'm sure they will do some more small deals in free agency but I can't imagine it's going to eat up $30 million in cap space this year.

We will spend about 12M on drafted rookie contracts with 8M being top 51. We could add a 6-8M OG. That leaves about 15M cap. Unspent cap rolls to next year. I can see us holding that so we walk into 2026 not being forced to restructure aging players. KMoore can then buy the players needed after a season.
