The New Orleans Saints converted over $8 million of Davenport’s $9.5 million salary into a signing bonus on Tuesday. This move created roughly $6.8M in the team’s 2022 salary cap space, per Adam Schefter.
Davenport was entering the final year of his deal and due $9.5M on the fifth-year option. New Orleans also added four void years onto the end to spread out the savings.
