Yes, they saved $6M because Brees tender would have paid him $16M which would have been the cap hit for him this year, but with his new deal, he's only a $10M cap hit.

Before Brees even signed, however, the Saints were only $2.16M under the cap. And I'm not even sure if their 4th round pick, Nick Toon, has even signed yet. Not that he will be a big impact to the cap, but it's at least another $500k.

With Brees $10M this year, the Saints are around $8M over the cap.

I thought the $2 million number included Brees' $16 million tender.
