According to recent rumours, wide receiver Mike Klis of the team is set to undergo significant adjustments.
To begin with, Tim Patrick, whose anticipated salary-cap charge for 2024—the last year of his present contract—is estimated to be $15.571 million. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement on a “reduced” contract, Patrick will most likely be dismissed.

Regarding the latter illness in August of last year, head coach Sean Payton stated, “The good news is it’s a clean injury and there’s a better than likely 100 percent recovery.”
