Cutting or trading Alexander will clear up 13. Sign lattimore and Ryan. That alone would put us under the cap

I've heard some people saying the Saints are scrambling to get under the cap. They've known about the cap reduction since last July. They also know all of their options. The only unknown is the final cap number which should be coming out today or tomorrow.

There are going to be a ton of veterans out there who will fall to the secondary free agent market because of the lowered cap. It will be possible to plug several holes at a budget price with proven players ready to hit the field. There will be more one year contracts at a minimal rates than ever before.

On the other hand, the draft will be more of a crapshoot than ever this season with players having opted out, players with limited playing time due to shortened seasons, no combine, limited attendance pro days, extremely limited face-to-face contact, no scout access to school personnel (coaches, trainers, counselors, etc.), limited post-season games, etc.
