Re: 2018 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

The Saints also have almost $13 million in readily convertible roster bonus available for 2018 cap relief.

Re: 2018 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Doing some quick contract research, we can free up about $5.5 million just by making these obvious cuts:

PJ Williams $730,000
Hau’oli Kikaha $1,153,133
Tom Savage $1,308,125
Michael Hoomanawanui $1,350,000
Shane Vereen $1,050,000

Re: 2018 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

We also currently have almost $13 million in roster bonuses still on the 2018 books that can be instantly converted to signing bonuses to free up probably around $8-$9 million, as well. Lot's of room to play with.

Re: 2018 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

I think TommyLee played his final down in B&G last night. IIRC he was in well into the 4th quarter.

Something tells me Coach P saw enough from Tate in camp/pre season games that he's the guy on kickoffs/returns for 2018.

A saavy vet he trusts.

Cheaper route is to keep Klein for 2018. Next year he would save us 4M against the cap though.

Re: 2018 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Re: 2018 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Quick Observations after the Cut-Down Day:

• Amazing set of quarterbacks - the third for Bridgewater was unnecessarily costly as we should've been more pro-active in free agency...
  
  
• After that half-arse effort, the Williams cut makes sense, beside Scott was already the better back; we're not done yet though...
  
  
• Love TLL, but his route tree is limited 'cause he gets enveloped by defenders as Cooks did, who was traded; Kirkwood has higher ceiling...
  
  
• Man-o-man are we thin on offensive line - that fourth round pick gaffe with better OTs on the board is coming back to bite us...
  
  
• Love that Dan Arnold made the team; don't get patching and taping up Ben Watson for sixteen games, should've made a trade or signed Jimmy...
  
  
• We got the right five defensive ends; special hats off to Mitch Loewen, again, stay healthy, make plays; watch out for Trey Hendrickson as well...
  
  
• Hats Off Award to Taylor Stallworth as he kept hustling, pushing, fighting, scrapping, running, and willed his roster spot...
  
  
• Thought we might see a surprise at LB, but Saints FO must be having flashbacks last season, running out of LBs; good squad, but who starts???
  
  
• Am actually glad to see we kept PJ Williams, he's got starter experience, he's on a rookie contract; shout out to Hardee and Maulet for working for their jobs...
  
  
• Disappointed Jamerson wasn't kept as a safety, his better position; he has a higher ceiling than Banjo; this is one we're likely to regret...
  
  
• Actually expected to see more trades like that for Devaroe Lawrence; Stupar was on the market; as was Savage...

Saints are ninth-oldest team in the league here, but there's a couple of guys obviously throwing off the curve. ... Take out Brees and Watson, and the average age drops to 25.8
