The New Orleans Saints were among the top-ten teams in the NFL last season. They finished No. 2 in the NFC and prepared for a strong playoff run that was cut short by a divisional-round loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
This upcoming season, New Orleans will have a far different team because of what they had to do to stay under the cap.
