Saints restructure contracts of Cam Jordan & Thomas Morsted

This move gives us 3 million in cap space.

Credit to Nick Underhill:

Saints opened up some cap space by reworking the contracts of Thomas Morstead and Cam Jordan.

Morstead, who previously had a base salary of $3 million, is now listed by the NFLPA at $900,000 this season. This suggests he converted $2.1 million of his salary into a signing bonus.

Jordan, who was listed with a base salary of $3.5 million, now has a base salary of $765,00.

The Saints now are listed as having more than $3 million in cap space. They had $273,000 before making these moves.

However, it does not appear that figure takes into account the contracts of tight end Josh Hill, which is expected to count as a $1.5 million salary-cap charge, and defensive tackle Nick Fairley.

This was done exactly for that purpose. Like I've said before I think the Saints have re-negotiated Drew and others and just aren't saying anything. We'll find out Drew restructured after the draft because I think we're going to make a second first round pick. What team would be willing to trade their first for our 2nd and first next year?

Why the heck would we want to trade back in the 1st? We need a ton of young guys over the next couple of years and losing a pick should not be in the plan.

I didn't think Morstead was anything special last year.

Morstead had some uncharacteristic shanks last year for sure, but I think he was injured also.

He's a punter.

Cam is a bit of a surprise but Thomas was expected IMO.

This does not mean the saints should not entertain the idea of another punter. there are a couple that will be UDFA that are well worth a look see.

4 million dead this year, and 1.8 next year...I don't think he is going anywhere
