The New Orleans Saints, Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings, Jacksonville Jaguars and Philadelphia Eagles have the least amount of cap space to work with as free agency and the draft approach.
The Jaguars and Eagles are both over the cap.
Here's how each of these teams can save some money and still make a moderate splash in free agency.
New Orleans Saints
Salary cap rank: 28th
Cap space: $7,656,953 million
Key free agents: QB Teddy Bridgewater, RB Mark Ingram II, DE Alex Okafor, K Wil Lutz (restricted), TE Benjamin Watson (retiring), DT Tyeler Davison
Possible solutions
Cut Kurt Coleman: The safety's debut season in New Orleans didn't pan out as hoped after he signed a three-year, $16.
