The New Orleans Saints have $4.6 million in available cap space after factoring in a pay cut to Jahri Evans and the contract of recently signed cornerback Kyle Wilson.

Evans' 2015 base salary was cut from $6.8 million to $1,003,000 in 2015 and from $8 million in 2016 to $3.8 million. He will make $4.9 million in base salary in 2017.

Evans, however, will recoup much of the money via a $5.4 million signing bonus in his renegotiated deal that added a year to his contract, according to a league source.

Evans previously had salary cap hits of $11 million in 2015 and $10.2 million in 2016.

The Saints saved $3.45 million with the new deal and are likely done with contract maneuvers as they have enough money to sign their draft picks.

Wilson, who is on a one-year deal, will make a base salary of $745,000, the veteran minimum.
