Saints Restructure Contracts, Gain $24M Cap Space

0:00Here's more NFL news for March 5th. The New Orleans Saints are making moves to free up salary cap space before the 2026 league year kicks off. They restructure contracts for three key veterans, turning big chunks of their base salaries into bonuses that shift the money down the road. Tide in Jawan Johnson, defensive in Chase Young, and safety Justin Reed, all got the treatment. This helps spread out their cap hits over future seasons instead of hitting all at once. Johnson was due $9 million, $80,000. Young had $14 million, $830,000 on the books, and Reed carried $9,250,000. These changes should give the Saints around $24 million in fresh cap room. It puts them on track to be fully compliant when things get rolling next week. Team Insiders say this is just the start of their offseason planning, keeping them flexible for potential trades or signings ahead. DNN is sponsored by our partner.
