This is great news for the Saints.

The New Orleans Saints are once again last in cap space going into the offseason. This means some important contract decisions must be made, and getting to the positive may not be as straightforward as before. The Saints will need as much help as they can get, and a little relief came today as the league just announced that cap space will see a massive rise in 2025.

This new cap number would be around a $22-$26 million increase from 2024. If the cap number settles around $229 million, New Orleans will be in the negative by $47 million before contract restructures.

Obviously, every dollar will count for the Saints to get back to positive cap space, and with this increase, the team now has an easier path to getting there.
