Saints alter Teddy Bridgewater's contract to create 2018 cap space
 

When the New Orleans Saints traded for quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, his $5 million salary for 2018 ate up a significant portion of their salary cap space for the year, money the team needs to sign players throughout the season as injuries inevitably happen.

The Saints this week made a move to lessen the strain of Bridgewater's salary. According to an ESPN report Friday, the team converted more than $4 million of Bridgewater's base salary into a signing bonus and added two voidable years to his contract to free $2.71 million in cap space for this year.

If he was willing to accept the deal with a voidable extension then I think he plans on sticking around.
