Per Mike Triplett, the Saints have restructured the contract of C Erik McCoy to pickup $7.36 million in cap space.
McCoy, 28, was drafted by the Saints in the second round out of Texas A&M in 2019. He signed a four-year, $6 million rookie contract that included $3.7 million in guarantees.
He was set to make a base salary of $1.323 million in 2022 and was scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent in 2023 when the Saints signed him to a five-year, $63.75 million contract in September.
McCoy was due base salaries of $9.6 million in each of the next two seasons when New Orleans converted his salary and roster bonus to clear $7.18 million in cap space for 2024. The team then restructured his deal back in March of 2025.
In 2025, McCoy appeared in and started seven games for the Saints at center.
