The New Orleans Saints had an uphill battle to climb this offseason being over $100 million above the league’s salary cap. However, Mickey Loomis and Sean Payton pulled it off and still managed to tag Marcus Williams and re-sign Jameis Winston.
One of those casualties though that they would have liked to keep but just couldn’t was star defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins.
