Looks like the Saints are in terrible cap shape and don't have many contracts they can easily offload. Working backwards from 95 million:
Rollover: 12 million (Not sure what full rules are, but can be used to re-sign someone)
83 million.
Brees Retires: Save $13.5 million (plus whatever prorated bonus the Saints ask for back, but this is unlikely)
69.5 million.
Cut K'won Alexander: Save 13.54 million
56 million
Trade or cut Sanders: Save 6 million
50 million
Cut Josh Hill: Save 2.5 million
47.5 million
Here is where the fire sale assets come in
Cut or trade Janoris Jenkins: Save $8 million from trade, or $7 million from cut.
40 million
Cut or trade Ryan Ramczyk: Save $11 million
29 million
Cut or trade Marshon Lattimore: Save $10.2 million
19 million
Cut or trade Malcolm Brown (DT): Save $5 million
14 million
Michael Thomas, Cameron Jordan, Demario Davis have contracts that could be restructured, but this is what got them into this mess to begin with.
What do you guys think the trade value of Lattimore and Ramczyk are? Janoris Jenkins would be another possibility, but I don't care for his past red flags.
Ramczyk is the least likely to be traded, but both him and Lattimore are entering contract years and have played at a very high level. It is very possible the Saints end up moving one or both for sheer cap convenience. Either one would be a major upgrade for the Broncos.
