LISTEN: Saints Wire Podcast talks cap cuts and restructured contracts

The New Orleans Saints have had to make tough salary cap cuts and contract restructures, which we discussed on the Saints Wire Podcast.

Episode 23 of the Saints Wire Podcast is live, hosted by Ryan O’Leary (@RyanOLearySMG) with Saints Wire managing editor John Sigler (@john_siglerr). You can subscribe for new episodes on Apple Podcasts or your podcast app of choice, and catch up on past episodes in the playlist embedded below.

This week we’re reflecting on two tough salary cap cuts by the Saints in tight end Josh Hill and longtime punter Thomas Morstead — two players who have appeared in 307 combined regular season games for the black and gold. We also discussed exactly what happens when a player restructures their contract for cap purposes, and why it isn’t the pay cut many fans believe it to be. This episode was recorded before the Saints used the franchise tag on safety Marcus Williams and carried out another wave of cap cuts, which we’ll talk about next week.
