Saints Cap Moves: $32,555,433 cap space ….. 8 restructures, 3 extensions, 3 pay cut, 1 release [Mathieu and Young’s cap #s counted on OTC]
You need to look at whose contracts are voiding (mostly guys we’d want to move on from after this year anyway), and you also need to look at the restructure/void year capacity of who’s left, and how much space there is to pull from in 2027-2029. Lastly, several of those open slots will be filled by 10 to 15 cheap draft picks from this year and next and also probably 3 to 6 cheap UDFAs.
We’ll be fine, again.
And there it is. With 10 voiding contracts, we have 36 players for 2026 and already $4 million over the cap.
