NEW ORLEANS -- The New Orleans Saints typically have a method in the offseason.
They spent January evaluating the coaches and personnel, with new coaching hires usually coming in February. Major restructures to player contracts tend to begin in mid-February ahead of the beginning of the new league year (March 13).
The Saints have already started on some moves, restructuring the contracts of Marshon Lattimore and Jameis Winston, parting ways with offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael and letting go of some of their assistants.
