The Facts: The Saints are continuing the cap clearing process by reworking Kamara‘s deal. Field Yates of ESPN reports that the team has converted $10.465 million of Kamara’s 2022 compensation into a signing bonus. That kicks $8.372 million of a scheduled $11.5 million cap hit into future seasons.
Diehards Line:
The Saints also restructured the contracts of defensive ends Cameron Jordan and Tanoh Kpassagnon this week. The three moves have cleared more than $22 million in cap space as the team moves toward the new league year. Kamara’s contract is not his biggest offseason concern. He faces a battery charge after an arrest in Las Vegas last month and a hearing in the case is scheduled for late next month.
