Amazing since the Saints are already way over the CAP $$$ !!
I would beg to go to the Colts if i were Ryan... poor SOB; holds himself like a pro when the FO $h!ts the bed on building a winner, and they reward him with a "thanks, but GTFO... we don't need you anymore".
if i were Watson, i would beg to go to the Colts... the cost for him is punitive for anyone, but the Colts need the least to be extremely good.

The Saints kicked off their restructuring moves with two of the biggest money-saving moves in their arsenal: restructuring both receiver Michael Thomas and right tackle Ryan Ramczyk.
The Saints converted $14.565 million of Thomas' pay and $18,206,608 million of Ramczyk's pay into signing bonuses for the each of them — which created $26.217 million in salary cap space.
Guard Andrus Peat's contract was also restructured on Feb. 26, which gave the Saints an additional $7.8 million to work with.

The Saints did a simple restructure for cornerback Marshon Lattimore, converting his base salary and his roster bonus to save $18.4 million against the cap.
This move put the Saints approximately $5 million over the salary cap, but after the Saints placed a second-round tender on receiver Deonte Harty on March 14, the Saints' number to clear jumped up a bit.

The Saints did a simple restructure for defensive end Marcus Davenport and extended cornerback Bradley Roby. The latter move was a slight surprise, as Roby was a potential contender to be a salary cap casualty.
Davenport, before his restructure, had a salary cap hit of $9.5 million, and the Saints converted $8 million of his base salary into a signing bonus to give the Saints $6.8144 million in salary cap space.
Details are not yet available for Roby, who originally had a cap number of $10 million before the extension, but the move could realistically save $6-7 million against the cap.

The Saints did simple restructures for both defensive tackle David Onyemata and offensive lineman James Hurst.
Onyemata had a cap number of $13.17 million before his restructure, and the Saints converted $6.4 million of his base salary and a $1 million roster bonus — while adding three void years — to free up $5.972 million.
Hurst had a cap number of $4.425 million before his restructure, and the Saints converted $705k and his combined $600k workout and roster bonuses — while adding three void years — to give the Saints an extra $1.04 million against the cap.
Together, those restructures saved the Saints $7.016 million against the salary cap, officially putting them in compliance.

This guy would be a great addition to out TE Room, Sign him, then Draft Trey McBride ... you then have an awesome TE rotation for Wilson.
this would be an ideal pickup
there are plenty of dominos about to fall, and wonder who else will be released:
DE Carl Nassib
DL Matthew Ioannidis
TE Austin Hooper
LB Myles Jack
Washington officially released:
S Landon Collins
S Deshazor Everett
G Ereck Flowers Sr.
DT Matt Ioannidis
wow

Watching it happen to Baker makes me smile, but Matt Ryan gave everything for that franchise and his coaches stole a SB from him. I would say cut me, I'm not playing another down for this shitty city.
