re: Saints restructure Cam and Demario

I know you don’t want them to extend Lattimore but it’s very likely. They can extend him and push his cap hit, which I think is around $9mil? into later years and make him play at like $4mil this year.

I know he’s been inconsistent but he’s still by far the best corner we’ve had in years here. And considering how hard it’s been for us to develop and keep good defensive backs, Williams and Lattimore become important pieces whereas guys like Hendrickson become expendable because that’s a position, at least while Nielsen is here, we can develop consistently good players at.

I think both Latt and Ram get extended to lock them up and push their cap hits down the road.


ETA: the only player that worries me as far as kicking the cap can down the road is Jordan. I hope last year was an anomaly and he proves his worth again but man he looked rough a lot. Having him eating up so much dead money would make it hard to let him go even with the cap jump. Plus he’s going to be an important locker room piece for the new generation.
