2024 Saints Salary Cap Watch
New Orleans Saints 2024 Salary Cap
Yes, the Saints have the highest projected overage of the cap once again in the league, but it is because of how they structure contracts, as we all should know by now. As the tweet points out, all $125 million available cap is through simple restructures with no extensions using voidable years. That gives the Saints a net of over $35 million in available liquid cap space to play the free agent market. As you can also see by the above numbers, more and more franchises are moving to this methodology of cap management. Note all of the team listed are playoff contenders. |

Re: 2024 Saints Salary Cap Watch
I could see us moving on from some key older players this offseason and trying to gain some control over the salary cap this year. Lattimore probably has the maximum trade value and his new contract makes him more affordable to trade.

The team on the other end of the trade would be stuck paying Lattimore's ~$15 million salary for 2024 in the form of the converted bonus. Lattimore is an aging corner who will have played 17 total games in 2 seasons (50% availability) with mid-60's PFF ratings both seasons (average quality starter but not star level). I think it is very possible we would have to give a team a draft pick to take Lattimore off our hands for $15 million for an old corner with mediocre numbers who misses half his games. If some team gives us a conditional 2026 7th rounder and takes his $15 million salary we are very lucky.
If we changed the bonus and paid Lattimore's salary he would have a bit more trade value, but at $15 million I am just not sure its there. Guys like Kamara and Davis could have more value because they have played well and not been hurt so much so they are more likely to make the difference as one year rentals. |

Re: 2024 Saints Salary Cap Watch
I don't have a problem with the talent on the team. The team has a playoff caliber roster at a minimum. I don't have a problem with the cap. It's not my money and the knock on the Saints for years was it didn't take care of It's players. Making it a less likeable destination to play and to attract free agents. That's not the case anymore. The current problem in the organization is its refusal to move on from Allen. Campbell takes Goff and makes Detroit a winner. Ryan's takes a rookie QB and a horrible roster and wins in Houston. Allen is THE problem.
