Bunk and Colston had high dead money numbers (as does Evans which is why I can see him stay with a pay cut).

If they are coming back for close to the dead money numbers it makes more sense to keep them.

PT had very little dead money, sadly. Bush and White better watch out too.

Bunkley agreed to take pay cut to stay with #Saints, similar to what he did last year.

Bunkley cut his 2014 salary from $4.5mil to $1.65mil last year. Saved us ~3mil.

I can definitely see something similar.
4.4mil base salary

Exactly. You have to fill out the roster so if you can fill the spot with a similar cost as cutting that player, you might as well keep them. Especially if they perform when healthy.
