New Orleans Saints salary cap squeeze

The NFL advised general managers this week that it was projecting a salary cap in the neighborhood of $150 million for the 2016 season.

For the New Orleans Saints and other teams facing a cap squeeze, the news served as a reminder of the work that must be done to trim the payroll in the coming months.

The Saints have about $154 million allotted to 41 players under contract for 2016. They'll have to release players, negotiate pay cuts and restructure contracts in order to get under the cap and create space to pursue free agents and sign a draft class.

The Saints will make the numbers work, as they do every offseason. But they may have to make more sacrifices than usual this year.
