To build a great team it takes talent and also salary cap expertise.

Of the top positions, the Saints have below market or rookie scale contracts on each of them.

Rookie scale
QB - Shough - 3 more years
LT - Banks - 4 more years
WR - Tyson - 5 more years
CB - McKinstry - 2 more years

Other great value contracts at premium positions
DE - Young - talent really showed last year. - 2 more years
CB - Riley - 3 more years
RT - Fuaga - 3 more years






This is how you get out of cap hell quickly.

to add to this, taking Tyson means you dont need to go to free agency and spend on a WR. so now you can pay Olave 35 mil, have Tyson at 5.5 mil and Vele for 1.1 for 2 more years and Polk at 2 mil for 2 more years.
