With several hours to spare before Tuesday afternoon's deadline, the New Orleans Saints sliced their way to salary cap compliance -- unofficially at least.
The latest NOLA.com estimate gives the Saints $2.39 million in breathing room. That total doesn't include the pay cut accepted by veteran receiver Marques Colston. Nor does it include possible contract alterations -- or even outright releases -- for linebacker David Hawthorne and offensive linemen Jahri Evans and Ben Grubbs. On Monday the Saints released veteran linebacker Curtis Lofton, freeing up $4.25 million in cap space. The team also converted edge rusher Junior Galette's roster bonus into a signing bonus, freeing up $10 million for 2015. See the detailed salary cap numbers here for each player |

Good moves so far. Need to cut Hawthorne and restructure grubbs or evans.
I don't like the fact Brees hasn't been extended. To me that means this will be his last contract with the Saints. |

Be careful with this wish to cut Hawthorne, soon the team may find itself with more holes than they can effectively fill...
