The New Orleans Saints released safety Kurt Coleman on Feb. 21 in a bid to add space beneath the 2019 NFL salary cap, which is projected to land somewhere between $189 and $191 million. Terminating Coleman’s contract freed up $4 million in salary cap space for the 2019 fiscal year, but how many resources do the Saints really have to work with now?
Sources vary. Two websites actively maintain public records on contract, and they’re in disagreement at the moment. Over The Cap hasn’t updated with Coleman’s release at time of writing, but simple math would result in a projected salary cap space total of $12,549,197.
