The New Orleans Saints entered free agency with very little cap room to sign free agents. But General Manager Mickey Loomis has managed to ink cornerback Keenan Lewis and tight end Benjamin Watson while making serious runs at outside linebacker Victor Butler and cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha by being shrewd with his cap dollars.
After last week's signings, the Saints are unofficially about $2 million under the salary cap.
Lewis signed a five-year deal worth up to $26.3 million ($10.5 million in guarantees, including a $6 million signing bonus). Because Lewis' first-year base salary is $1 million, he'll only count about $2.2 million against the 2013 salary cap.
