I'll spare you all of the math it took to get here.
Saints restructure the following:
DE Cameron Jordan (7 stars)
OT Ryan Ramczyk (6.5 stars)
CB Marshon Lattimore (6.5 stars)
RB Alvin Kamara (5 stars)
QB Jameis Winston (4.5 stars)
TE Taysom Hill (4 stars)
LB Demario Davis (4 stars)
FS Tyrann Mathieu (2.5 stars)
DE Carl Grandson (1 star)
Saints cut the following:
OG Andrus Peat (12 stars - June 1st)
OT James Hurst (4.5 stars)
K Wil Lutz (3.5 stars)
WR Tre'Quan Smith (2 stars)
Yes... all of this was necessary literally just to break even. See y'all in the last phase of free agency
