Saints Restructure Two, Re-Sign Two

The Saints have cleared another $12.4 million by restructuring two contracts. According to ESPN's Field Yates, they tweaked the deals of defensive ends Cam Jordan and Tanoh Kpassagnon to free up some cap space. Yates also added that the team has re-signed exclusive rights free agents Carl Granderson and Jalen Dalton.
Tanoh Kpassagnon was on pace for a career year in sacks after a stellar start to the season, being one of the team's bright spots while they struggling getting after the quarterback in the early going. Unfortunately, an ankle injury cut his season short, as his last action was in Week 10 against the Titans.
As for Carl Granderson, he stepped in more because of the team's injury issues with Kpassagnon and Payton Turner. He logged three sacks and had a career-high 15 quarerback pressures. Jalen Dalton was once again a stellar training camp presence, and looked to be a Week 1 starter with the way he was playing. However, he suffered a fully torn triceps injury after a partial tear the season before.
Cam Jordan had a heck of a back-half of the year, finishing with 12.5 sacks. He's just 8 behind Rickey Jackson (115) for the franchise record.
These defensive moves are good ones, as the Saints should field another strong pass rush in 2022.

Still 32 mill over the cap

This is just the start. Look for most of the big name contracts to be restructured that already haven’t been.

Extend Davenport should be the next move

I hope they figure something out with K. Alexander and S. Tuttle..

Looking forward to having Kpassagnon and Dalton back. As good as the run def. was it really hurt us not having that pressure up the middle.

Cutting Roby and restructuring Lattimore and Kamara will get us below the cap. I imagine they are working on an extension for Davenport that will significantly lower his cap hit.
They could still even restructure others such as Onyemata, Davis and even Hill to get significantly below the cap if needed.

Would be nice to have the last two draft classes step up and be bigger contributors on rookie deals.

Right. I mean they are going to get under the cap its not a mystery. Its 100% required 100% guaranteed 
How far will be your draftees and a few FA's
