Lofton, Grubbs, Evans, Hawthorne, Colston restructure deals

@espn_nfcsouth: Saints' Curtis Lofton restructures deal

@MikeTriplett: RT @espn_nfcsouth: Saints restructure Ben Grubbs' deal

@MikeTriplett: #Saints have also restructured deal with G Jahri Evans, agent Jerrold Colton confirmed.

@LarryHolder: Another one. RT @espn_nfcsouth: Saints restructure Hawthorne's deal

@JasonLaCanfora: Saints, in need of cap space, completed a restructured deal with WR Marques Colston. Have offered W. Smith and Vilma lesser deals to stay

Last sentence is the most important, Smith and Vilma taking lesser deals or getting released probably would have been close to put the Saints at or under the cap by themselves.

Funny how Lofton restructures for less than what he made in ATL to play on a "winning" team

Lofton didn't lose any money, they basically just all have their base salary as the league min and all the remaining is a signing bonus or something.

How much yall saved with Turner?

If we release him (which I hope to god we do), we can save almost $7 million in cap space
