According to the NFLPA, the New Orleans Saints have just $1.298 million available in cap space, a league low at the moment. And that’s not counting the James Laurinaitis and Jamarca Sanford deals. That likely means no Nick Fairley, no re-signing Tim Hightower, or any other players, until further adjustments are made to current contracts.
Saints fans are still waiting on that Drew Brees extension. A good place for negotiations is the annual owners meeting taking place this week in Florida. Restructures to the contracts of Jairus Byrd, Thomas Morstead, Max Unger and Zach Strief are also possibilities as the offseason progresses.
