The New Orleans Saints are still over the 2021 salary cap, but they're slowly making progress to get under it.
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Saints restructured the contracts of linebacker Demario Davis and defensive end Cameron Jordan.
The #Saints gained even more cap space today, restructuring the contracts of LB Demario Davis and DE Cameron Jordan to create $13,443,750 of cap room, source said. Slowly, but surely...

Jordan was set to have an $18.9 million cap hit in 2021, and Davis was going to have a $10.8 million cap hit.
The Saints still have a lot of work to do to get under the cap before the new league year begins later this month, but this is, at least, a start.
