I think he will retire before training camp starts.

For Jenkins, Terrell reports, the changes are considerable. Jenkins took a pay cut to reduce his base salary to the league minimum in both 2022 ($1.12 million) and 2023 ($1.165 million), the final two years of his contract. Unlike most restructures, he did not receive a signing bonus and no void years were added. This is the same maneuver the Saints took with Drew Brees prior to his retirement to help ease the salary cap hit once he was ready to step away from the game.

Jenkins, 34, could also be considering retirement. He’s won two Super Bowls in two different NFL cities and has wide-ranging business interests outside of football. There’s another shoe waiting to drop unless he’s planning to play out his deal while earning the veteran’s minimum. Whether that means retirement or an extension (which the Saints would have done in the first place) is unclear. If he does decide it’s time to retire from football, the Saints could designate him a post-June 1 cut (again, as they did with Brees) and carry minimal dead money charges of $3.95 million in 2022 and 2023.

I’ve been very busy and have not had much time to check the board. Every time I finally get around to it I think to myself that SURELY we must have signed someone useful by now. Then I see this.

No one seems to like this move outside of Sorenson and his agent. I hate the expression "camp body" but it may apply here.

Exactly. The offseason roster is 90 players. Half the players signed originally (many will be replaced during the offseason itself) will not make the final 53, but you still have to have them.

Well thank you professor, because none of us knew that already...

Why don't you go build a tree house out of a coconut or something and let the adults talk for a while...
