The New Orleans Saints are in one of the worst cap positions of any team in NFL history. They’ve easily at the bottom of the barrel in terms of available money for this coming free agency period; meaning, it’ll be tough for them to even re-sign their current free agents.
Pushing back dead money through these restructured contracts has finally caught up with the Saints, and it may force them to lose out on a couple of high-level free agents.
