The first big wave of free agency has crashed over the NFL, taking several big names from the Saints with it: Trey Hendrickson, Sheldon Rankins, and a number of tough salary cap cuts, too.

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.
