The New Orleans Saints ‘are already over’ the NFL Salary Cap for the 2025 Season, Worries a Former NFL Head Coach

The New Orleans Saints ‘are already over’ the NFL Salary Cap for the 2025 Season, Worries a Former NFL Head Coach.

Former NFL head coach and co-host of SiriusXM NFL Radio, who is worried about the salary cap situation for the New Orleans Saints in 2024 and 2025.

NEW ORLEANS: Charlie Weis berated the New Orleans Saints on “Airing It Out” on Monday morning for being the only team that would above the NFL pay ceiling for the 2025 season even though they are still working on their 2024 salary cap problems.

Charlie Weis, a former NFL head coach, told Papa, “I read one thing this morning, Bob, which really shows you how some teams are in some serious, serious trouble.” “They’re the only team in the league that right now is already over the 2025 [salary cap]…when are you ever going to get out from underneath the salary cap problems if you keep on pushing everything down the road?”

In the realm of NFL pay caps, New Orleans has long employed a smart approach to handling its salary cap problems. The Saints’ pay caps have been gradually reduced for years under general manager Mickey Loomis and vice president of football operations Khai Harley, thanks to their sophisticated strategic decision-making and adept financial management. New Orleans has produced competitive teams, signed free agents and rookies, and remained in compliance with the NFL through altered contracts, delayed payments, voidable years, and signing bonuses for the players.
