The New Orleans Saints are down to $8,809,162 in salary cap space for the 2019 season, per the latest public report from the NFL Players Association. This would suggest a cap hit of just $2,250,000 for cornerback P.J. Williams, who agreed to terms on a one-year contract extension with New Orleans. Here’s how we found that number.
Before this update, the Saints were listed with $10,489,162 in salary cap space. Because only the 51 most-valuable contracts factor into cap calculations, signing Williams would have bumped one of the Saints’ least-valuable contracts out of consideration.
