The New Orleans Saints and the rest of the NFL received some notable news on Wednesday morning. It's a good break for basically every team around the league, in regards to this offseason and a look ahead when it comes to the salary cap.
Salary cap news
The NFL today informed teams that the 2025 per-team salary cap will fall in the range of $277.5 million to $281.5 million, way up from last year's $255.4 million. Cap will have increased by more than $53 million over the last two years.
With that increase, every team got some more spending money, in essence. Many executives believed that number would be between $272-275 million, but that's not the case.
Some teams have a hole to climb out of when it comes to cap space this offseason. Others, they'll have even more of a head start on the rest of the NFL when it comes to available space.
How it affects the Saints
For the Saints, this opens an easier path to getting to cap compliancy. Of course, it won't be a complete shift in terms of decisions, but they could make a couple different choices due to their increased spending power.
The Saints now currently sit just over $47M above the 2025 salary cap, according to OverTheCap.
The biggest dominoes to fall will be a potential release/restructure of Derek Carr, possible restructure of Cameron Jordan and/or Demario Davis, and decisions on bringing back Paulson Adebo or Juwan Johnson as notable free agents this offseason.
All in all, this news can change who we see on the Saints' roster in 2026. Regardless, Kellen Moore and the front office have plenty of tough decisions to make in the coming months.
