Welcome to NFL News Today. Two minutes of updates that matter to NFL fans, hit subscribe and stay connected. The New Orleans Saints just restructured defensive in Chace Young's contract to tackle their salary cap crunch. They turned part of his base salary into a signing bonus, dropping his cap hit from $20,500,000 down significantly. This single move freed up almost $11 million in space for the team. That savings puts the Saints close to cap compliance after starting more than $11 million over the limit. Officials say they might need just one or two more tweaks to fully clear the hurdle and open room for future signings. Fans and analysts see this as a smart step in the Saints rebuild, especially after a rough 6-win 11-law season. Rookie quarterback Tyler Show stepped in mid-year and showed promise while Young delivered 10 sacks. Other players like Ed Rusher-Crawl-Granderson and Senator Eric McCoy could be next for similar restructures with their big cap hits looming in future.

Years. Looking ahead, the Saints hold the 8th pick in the 2026 NFL draft, focusing on young talent to build for the long haul. This episode is brought to you by our sponsor.
