The #Saints were $71M over the cap a few weeks ago. As of today they haven’t released a single player & yet they’re now sitting at $6M under the cap.

They’ve created $80M in cap space by simply restructuring deals.

EVERY team can do this. The salary cap, IS NOT REAL.

The #Saints have now freed up $80M of cap space over the past few weeks without outright releasing a single player from their signed roster.

The cap isn’t fake, but it’s mighty fluid.https://t.co/m5isMu4Wyy
