Saints finally get the answer to a burning off-season question
An important contract update.
The New Orleans Saints have continued to add depth so far in free agency. Khalen Saunders is a great example of that. He will be an important piece on their defensive line. His contract is quite team-friendly as well.
His low cap hit in year one will help the team continue to add impact players going forward during this off-season. His contract has a structure that looks similar to many depth players for the Saints.
It's been wondered how Saunders would impact the Saints salary cap this season. Other players like Shy Tuttle and David Onyemata, who left New Orleans, will be more expensive for their new teams.
Saunders will carry just a $1.6-$1.8 million cap hit this year. That is great news for the Saints.
