The New Orleans Saints have moved more than $26 million in salary cap charges into future years by restructuring the contracts of Michael Thomas and Ryan Ramczyk.
New Orleans began the offseason approximately $75 million over the projected cap of $208.2 million.
Thomas' restructure is especially notable since it further indicates that New Orleans has no plans to trade him.
The Saints converted $14.6 million of Thomas' scheduled salary and roster bonuses into a signing bonus, which means they can spread the cap charges over the next five years.
