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] (235 Viewers)

We need Cam Jordan and Taysom Hill to rework their deals. Need more room to sign a few more FAs, whether re-signings or new players.

Pettis may be a vet min deal. Justin’s cap hit, Chase’s new cap hit and Tyrann’s cap savings brings the cap space to around $8 million. Thats pushing upon the draft pick cap room.

A wise man once told me that it isn’t time going faster, but it’s our perspective of time.

When we are 8 years old, a year is merely 1/8 of our lives; when we are 40, a year is 1/40 of our lives, so a year becomes less and less significant to us psychologically as time passes.

Time is relative in more ways than the theory of relativity.

CJ Mosley anyone?
I think I’d prefer to bring back Willie Gay on a cheaper deal.

 

[SigFreudianSlip]

How do you know what I have or haven’t watched? I never said anything about making fun plays. He can’t stop the run, he gets pushed 2 yard off the LOS immediately.

2024 PFF grades
Overall: 118/219
Pass: 48/219
Rush: 207/219

Let me guess they don’t watch any film either?

LOL you do know that PFF grades are basically useless for DTs right??

These things are not mutually exclusive.
PFF grades are not the end all be all AND we absolutely were and have been terrible against the run.

No thanks. Huge Jets fan too, he’s not been very good. On the decline.

Is it time to announce the Becton signing?

 

[SonOfNOLA]

Assuming Becton is a $10 million AAV, it feels like adding Becton’s potential first year cap hit of 5.5M-6M requires Taysom to rework his deal. His cap savings would be near 6M.

Saints would need to still have operable cap space above the draft pick cap pool (about $6.7M) for a few more cheaper depth signings. Becton would take the cap space down to around 11M as is.

Could still cut Cedrick Wilson too to save a few bucks.

I wouldn’t sweat it. If it came down to it, there are always creative levers available to be pulled outside of the simple black and white low hanging fruit.

Exactly. And if we draft Tet, it puts Wilson at number 6 on the depth chart

MekhiI Becton 6’7 @ 363. Talk about a big mass to have to move. Only 25 years old. He’d be like getting a Jalen Carter as an OG.

Cutting Hill and designating him a 1 June cut would be more than enough to sign rookies.

Only thing about Becton is that he has knee issues. I think he hurt it again in the SB.

Don't hold your breath on cutting Wilson. CKM had him in Dallas and it was his best stop. He knows the system and is fairly cheap

You know, that's probably a great point. I thought for sure Wilson would be a goner, but the point you raise makes sense. Unless they get into some sort of bind where they absolutely need his money, he probably sticks around through camp at least.

we have yet to see any details on the reported pay cut for Cam and from what has been reported the Mathieu cut isn’t a real pay cut unless at the end of the upcoming season he doesn’t reach 81% of defensive snaps. Even then the reduction in salary will only credit next years cap.
