It's not the contract news fans are waiting for, but the Saints create cap room by restructuring a key player
The New Orleans Saints have announced the team has restructured the contract of tight end Juwan Johnson. It isn't the contract news that some are waiting for, as fans are still hoping for the team to reach a new deal with RB Alvin Kamara. However, this move does save the team millions in salary cap space for this season.
Originally a wide receiver when he entered the NFL, Johnson played collegiately at Penn State and Oregon before being signed by the Saints as an undrafted rookie in 2020. Over his first two seasons as a wideout, he caught 17 passes for 198 yards and four touchdowns in 21 games as a reserve. In 2022, Johnson was converted to tight end. He'd respond with an impressive statistical campaign, pulling in 42 balls for 508 yards and a team-high seven touchdowns. Last season, Johnson had 37 receptions for 368 yards and four scores despite missing four games with injuries.
