The New Orleans Saints are in a tight spot. They finished the 2022 season with a 7-10 record after rallying to win 3 of their last 4 games under Dennis Allen’s first year as their head coach. They don’t own a pick in the first round of the 2023 draft, and depending on where you look, they’re projected to sit over the 2023 salary cap by $53 to $57 million.
So they have a lot of work to do, but that’s the case every year. Some veterans will be let go, others will restructure their contracts to move money around, and a few will sign lucrative extensions as the Saints work to reach salary cap compliance and open up resources to add new talent. It’s the same as it ever was.
