Saints Restructure Ryan Ramczyk’s Contract To Free Up Big Number on Salary Cap

The New Orleans Saints still have a lot of work left to do on their cap situation this offseason. After missing out on the playoffs for two straight seasons (with a 7-10 record last year), the Saints' salary cap is a mess for 2023.

As it stands, New Orleans is still nearly $45 million over the NFL's cap space.

On Thursday, the club made another smart maneuver to help remedy this situation.

New Orleans converted offensive tackle Ryan Ramcyzk's contract next season in order to clear an additional $10 million in salary room. This is the second move the club made this week after restructuring center Erik McCoy's deal to create $8 million.

Two moves in one week to save $18 million in cap room is a big win for New Orleans' front office. Based on those two projections alone, the Saints are now dealing with a more reasonable number of $26 million left to cut.

Ramczyk started all 16 of the games he appeared in this season, logging just four penalties in 937 offensive snaps.
