New Orleans Saints veterans Will Smith and Jonathan Vilma need to decide within the next 24 hours or so whether or not to accept pay cuts to stay with the Saints or ask to be released. Though we don't know the exact offers that are on the table, we do know that the Saints have made it clear that they value both players and would love to keep them at the right price.
Smith is due to receive $10.15 million in salary and bonuses this season (with a salary-cap number of $14.5 million). Vilma is due to receive $6 million in salary and bonuses (with a cap number of $8.6 million).
If both players are released, the Saints will save $16.15 million in cap space. If they take pay cuts, the Saints will save the difference in salaries
