Re: 2024 Saints Salary Cap Watch

Jordan - Probably have to restructure him. Bad contract but his 2024 salary is guaranteed.
Demario - Would be nice not to restructure. He had a career year but at his age and position the cliff is steep and bound to be coming. But not the worst restructure since the decline has not already happened.
Taysom - Would be nice not to restructure. Similar to Demario except you can also question value. For all he does, there is a strong argument that a solid oline starter who is on the field every down would help the offense more than scripted runs here and there.
Mathieu - Probably will restructure him. Productive. Not super expensive.
Maye - Should be a candidate to cut for youth movement, our depth is better.
Thomas - He is gone because he burned the starting QB on social media. It is just as likely we bring back BOTH Joe Horn and Willie Roaf as assistant coaches with adjacent offices than that we retain Michael Thomas.
Lattimore - I favor trading him for a youth movement. The reliability is lost, the ability has started to decline, the cliff is coming, and he deserves a chance to play for a contender before he is done. But he is still ok so not the worst restructure ever.
Hurst - We should not cut him. $4 million is cheap. Paying Carr an injury settlement would not be.
Kind of agree with most, not all, but if the team believes the surgery (deemed successful) can extend Ramczyk then by all means restructure. Offensive linemen are extremely hard to find and Ramczyk is one of the best we've had recently.
