A look at free-agent leftovers New Orleans Saints could ponder

The team is nearly out of money now considering it has to set aside cap space for restricted free agents like running back Chris Ivory and center Brian de la Puente and their upcoming 2013 draft class. So spending any significant money on any free agent remaining on the market wouldn't be an option for the Saints.

If the team is out of money how can signing anyone happen? Seriously, I don't understand how the CAP works at all.

Restructure or cut some players. Harper is a 3.5 million savings if cut. There are probably 3 or 4 more Mickey has in mind in order to free up some more room.

Jenkins is a 2.5 million savings.
PT is 2.5 million
