Just watched the video & these are all the transactions that he mentioned

Base Salaries converted to Singing Bonus

-Lattimore - 9.1 mil - saves 7.3 mil

-Ramczyk - 10.5 mil - saves 8.4 mil

-Mike Thomas - 15.35 mil - saves 10.2 mil

-Cam Jordan - 13.6 mil - saves 9.1 mil

-Demario Davis - 7.5 mil - saves 5 mil

-Onyemata - 7.5 mil - saves 3.8 mil

-Andrus Peat - 10.85 mil - saves 7.2 mil

-Bradley Roby - 9.5 mil - saves 7.1 mil

Roster Bonus converted to Singing Bonus

-Lattimore - 15 mil - saves 12 mil

-Ramczyk - 8.5 mil - saves 6.8 mil

-Kamara - 6 mil - saves 4.5 mil

-Taysom Hill - 9 mil - saves 7.2 mil

Three more cap #'s that might also need to be lowered

-Davenport - Playing on his 5th year extension. Has a base salary of 9.553 mil

-Malcolm Jenkins - Has 2 years left on his contract & he's already 34. I think the smart thing is to assume that 2022 will be his last year of legit play, & probably going to be cut in 2023.

Converting his 6.75 mil base salary into a signing bonus would save us about 3 mil, but it would also raise the dead money for 2023. That would make cutting him in 2023 harder to do. Hopefully the FO makes the right decision.

-Lutz - Converting his 3.4 mil base salary into a signing bonus would save us around 1.5 mil, I think

3 possible cuts to save some cap space

-Bradley Roby - Has a cap # of 10.081 mil, with a dead money hit of $0. Cutting him saves 10.081 mil

-Mark Ingram - Has a cap # of 2.211 mil, with a dead money hit of $0. Cutting him saves 2.211 mil. Wouldn't do it unless he loses it next year

-Kpassagnon - Has a cap # of 3.1 mil, with a dead money hit of 400 k. Cutting him saves 2.7 mil. I wouldn't do this though

I wonder what jenkins number would be if we did that.

Peat's contract is going to be hideous in 2 years. It was already going to be bad but but restructuring will make it worse.
It just is what it is.

I looked at Jenkin's contract and it would really do no good to cut him this year like you said.

His dead hit is 8 mil. The next year is 4. So, adding that 3 mil of the restructure would make it about 7.

Maybe you get lucky and he is still playing well 2 years from now.
