The New Orleans Saints are the yearly scourge of those who watch salary cap numbers religiously, but don’t really know how it works. Khai Harley, their vice president of football administration, has made a name for himself for the ‘magic’ he works by keeping the Saints out of trouble every time the bell tolls.
Through practices such as higher than average signing bonuses as opposed to high salary numbers, spreading out the costs and utilizing void years the Saints are able to stretch the money out across longer periods of time so that it doesn’t affect them as much in the current math.
