The Saints may be forced to let go of one of the league’s rising as they’re almost nine figures deep in the cap and Marcus Williams is up for a new contract.

With an offseason that will be headlined by tough decisions, the New Orleans Saints and their experienced front office will be forced to make some cap-cutting moves as the team is about $74 million in the hole following Drew Brees’ restructured contract.

The Saints have some talent hitting the open market which makes those numbers even more brutal. Knowing that they won’t have the money to re-sign them all, New Orleans may have to decide between Jameis Winston, Trey Hendrickson and Marcus Williams.
