Saints save $4.8 million in cap space by converting Cam Jordan’s bonus
February 17, 2016 Joel A. Erickson The New Orleans Saints have created $4.8 million more in cap space by converting Cam Jordan‘s $6 million roster bonus into a signing bonus, a source confirmed to The Advocate on Wednesday. By converting Jordan’s bonus, the Saints spread the charge out over the five seasons of the contract, meaning there’s now a $1.2 million cap hit in each of the five years of the $60 million extension Jordan signed last summer. New Orleans has made a habit of converting bonuses to create room under the cap, using the tactic By spreading out the cap hit, Jordan’s contract should now carry cap figures of $11.5 million in 2017, $13.7 million in 2018, $13.5 million in 2019 $11.1 million in 2020. https://t.co/CXjuhbsk4E read more on NOLA.com Last edited by SmashMouth; 02-17-2016 at 12:20 PM.. |

So this gives us about $6.5 million in cap space without the Browner release or Brees extension I think. Making progress.

Brees and Byrd are next. Should get another 15 million out of that. With 18 million of the dead money freeing up next year we should have a bright future.

I kept saying the dead money talk meant nothing and we'd be fine.

Year after year people still doubt Loomis' cap skills.
We're 8 million UNDER the cap right now, and I'm sure more to come. |

Re: Saints convert Cam Jordan's roster bonus into signing bonus. Creating $4.8 million in cap space.
Restructures just add future dead money potential which is how we got in this mess. Now with that being said, this actually is a really good restructure because it is a very small amount ( 1.2 mill I think) over 4 years. Just can't free up this money to blow it on another player that doesn't pan out and go through this crap again.
