We probably need to be looking at a vet CB or two. Who's out there?

I’m not sure if this has been posted but Marcus Davenport is staying with saints. What are our options at DE now?

You could do it, but with Jones still being fairly young, I would imagine any restructure includes a 3rd year on the deal.

If they stuck to just a 2-year deal, you'd turn that $18 million roster bonus into a signing bonus and maybe put a void year on the back end. That would take the 18 million and split it into 3 chunks of $6 million so you'd bring his cap hit this year from $19 million down to about $7 million. The downshot is you create $12 million in hard cap money in 23 and 24 (again, presuming the void year). And his base is at $19 million for next season so you're looking at a cap hit of $25 million.

Now at that point you could presumptively take that $19 million base and AGAIN bonus it out as part of a 2 year extension. So then he's on a 3 year deal starting in 2023 w/ the $6 million in restructure bonus on the cap plus ANOTHER $6 million ish from the extension as a signing bonus cap charge. So you're starting in 2023 with a cap figure of $12+ million. Presuming a relatively low year 1 salary you could get away with about $14 million but you've now stuck dead money into 2024 and 2025 as well and likely some pretty hefty salary figures in there.

It could all be done but you'd need a willing partner in Jones. Or ultimately you just eat some shit next year if you chose to cut him and whatever roster bonus you converted to a restructure bonus all hits the cap next year (or potentially over 2 years if June 1 tagged).

Clear as mud?

Yeah. The problem is that OTC doesn't allow you to cut him in 2023 and see what the hit would be. It kind of just locks it at that point.

Ah shit - I just overlooked the fact that he's already sitting on some substantial restructure bonuses this year and next.

So yeah, you do that this year you really need that void year to kick that $18 million over 3 years rather than splitting it into 2. Otherwise you're looking at only gaining about $9 million in cap space this year and immediately starting with about $16 million in insecapable cap charge for him next year while he's ALSO sporting a $19 million base salary.

So that would be a $35 million cap hit next season. Uh - no thanks.

If you restructure it needs to be part of an extension. Otherwise you're probably better served to keep your powder dry.

I still think Robinson isn't going to happen because of Nagy's presence on our staff.

Would love to be wrong about that.
