The New Orleans Saints started the offseason roughly $110 million over the salary cap going into the 2021 season. As a result, they have been making moves left and right to try and regress that number down to zero.
The latest casualty to this process is the Saints’ long-time punter, Thomas Morstead. Morstead has been with the team for over a decade.
