The Saints continue to work toward getting over the 2024 salary cap, while positioning themselves further above the 2025 salary cap.
The final step is to convert some of Carl Granderson's 2024 base salary into a signing bonus that can be spread out over the remaining three seasons of Granderson's contract, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
This year, that means Granderson will cost just $5.25 million against the Saints' salary cap, according to OverTheCap.com. That's a good deal for a player who led the team with 8.5 sacks in 2023.
The bad news is that Granderson's cap value now increases to $11.7 million in 2025, $16.8 million in 2026, and $16.8 million in 2027. Moves like this are why the Saints continue to have salary cap issues In the coming years.
