The Saints have done all they can to upgrade their roster for the 2017 NFL season, but they aren’t finished preparing for what lies ahead. The team released maligned safety Jairus Byrd at the beginning of free agency with a special post-June 1st designation that gives the Saints more salary cap relief. The $7.8-million in cap savings is expected to be put to good use, with several big contributors and role players looking to secure their future in New Orleans.
That money won’t be available for another month, but it’s good to know who the Saints are interested in re-signing long-term.
