Hate to be that guy but how much will this save the saints? How much cap room this year and next

Mathieu was a great Saint and has been on cap friendly deals for a couple years so its not a big financial savings. I think the total savings will be about $4 million over the next two years. It would be much better for the Saints cap situation if Hill or Jordan retired. If the Saints sign a mid level veteran free agent to replace Mathieu it could actually cost them money. The best thing the Saints could do is embrace the youth movement and give the extra spot to a young player who can develop into an asset down the road.

I think this is Jordan’s last year. Idk about hill. He seems like he will never be ready. This should bring us another compensatory pick though
