Wide receiver Cameron Meredith will take a pay cut in a move that will free up salary cap space for the New Orleans Saints, ESPN reported Thursday morning (March 21).
Field Yates reported that Meredith’s salary would be reduced from $3.4 million to $1.3 million for 2019.
Meredith, a restricted free agent with the Bears in 2018, was the Saints’ highest-paid offensive free-agent acquisition a year ago, as he signed a two-year, $9.5 million deal in April. He played in six games last season for the Saints, with nine catches for 114 yards and one touchdown before being placed on injured reserve in November.
