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

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.

Arizona’s new coach is Carolina’s former DC. Their DC is the former Carolina LB coach. I’d be making a call real quick to see if they want AJ Klein.

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