Saints salary cap space update after Derek Carr contract restructure
The New Orelans Saints restructured their contract with starting quarterback Derek Carr on Saturday afternoon, which carries a host of implications. But the most pressing matter is how this move impacts the Saints and the salary cap. Before restructuring Carr's contract, which carried a cap hit of $51,458,000, the Saints were in the red by an estimated $39,539,537, per the experts at Over The Cap.
Assuming the Saints used a maximum restructure (as is typical for them), they just freed up $30,996,000. Flipping one switch nearly gets them in the clear, even if it isn't the most popular move given Carr's poor performance in two years as a starter. We'll find out the exact number later, but we'll assume the Saints maxed this out by reducing Carr's base salary to the minimum ($1,255,000) and combining the $28,745,000 difference with his $10 million roster bonus, which will be paid out over time for accounting purposes. Hence the $30,996,000 in savings.
So that brings the Saints down to about $8.5 million in negative cap space. That's very manageable. They can now reach salary cap compliance before the Wednesday, March 12 deadline (3 p.m. CT/4 p.m. ET) with a couple of other roster moves. Expect a combination of restructures, pay cuts, and veteran releases similar to what we laid out in our mock offseason. General manager Mickey Loomis has indicated the Saints will be more aggressive in this free agency cycle than they were a year ago. Restructuring Carr gives them the means to do it.

Equinox Gold Provides Updated 2025 Gold Production and Cost Guidance, 2025 Full-year Pro Forma Guidance, Including Calibre Mining Assets, of 785,000 - 915,000 Ounces of Gold, Greenstone Mine Expecting Strong H2 2025
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 11, 2025) - Equinox Gold Corp. (TSX: EQX) (NYSE American: EQX) ("Equinox Gold" or the "Company") is updating its 2025 production and cost guidance to reflect the business combination with Calibre Mining Corp. ("Calibre"), which is expected to close around the end of June 2025, and the slower-than-planned ramp-up at the Company's Greenstone Gold Mine ("Greenstone") in Ontario, Canada. The Company expects pro forma full-year 2025 production of 785,000 to 915,000 ounces of gold, with total cash costs ("TCC") of $1,400 to $1,500 per ounce and all-in sustaining costs ("AISC") of $1,800 to $1,900 per ounce, including Calibre's full-year guidance (see Calibre news release dated January 8, 2025). Pro forma guidance excludes production and costs from Calibre's Valentine Gold Mine ("Valentine") and Equinox Gold's Los Filos Complex. Equinox Gold will host a conference call and webcast to discuss pro forma guidance on Thursday, June 12, 2025 commencing at 7:00 am PT (10:00 am ET). Login and dial-in details are included at the end of this news release. Greg Smith, President & CEO of Equinox Gold, stated: "Since achieving commercial production at Greenstone in Q4 2024, the ramp-up has been slower than planned. Mine productivity and equipment availability, particularly with the primary loading fleet, have fallen short of plan, impacting mining rates and delaying access to higher-grade ore zones. Further, year-to-date mined grades have been below expectations, in part due to higher-than-anticipated dilution. On the processing side, while we are seeing improvements in throughput and recovery, year-to-date performance is also below plan. We are addressing the shortfalls and are revising Greenstone full-year production guidance to 220,000 to 260,000 ounces of gold. Reflecting this change, some refinements to our other assets and the anticipated completion of the business combination with Calibre, consolidated pro forma 2025 guidance is 785,000 to 915,000 ounces of gold at an AISC of $1,800 to $1,900 per ounce, excluding Valentine and Los Filos. For Q2 2025, we expect consolidated production of 135,000 to 145,000 ounces of gold from Equinox Gold mines, including 45,000 to 50,000 ounces from Greenstone. Calibre's Q2 2025 production is estimated at 70,000 to 72,500 ounces of gold. Full-year Calibre and pro forma consolidated guidance is included below to provide visibility into the scale of the combined company." Darren Hall, President & CEO of Calibre Mining, stated: "As incoming President and Chief Operating Officer of Equinox Gold, I have been working closely on integration and to address the operational opportunities identified through due diligence and subsequent reviews. I believe a reset of expectations is necessary to establish a foundation for long-term shareholder value creation. While Greenstone is one part of the broader portfolio, it is a key asset and an immediate focus. The Company has mobilized additional human capital to support the site, and an improvement and optimization plan is underway. In May, mining rates averaged 175,000 tonnes per day, representing a 25% increase over Q1 2025 performance. With early gains visible in mining performance, I anticipate continued quarter-over-quarter improvement at Greenstone, with stronger production expected in the second half of the year. Construction and commissioning at Valentine in Newfoundland are progressing well and the mine remains on schedule, with first gold anticipated by the end of Q3 2025. I am encouraged with progress at Valentine, with the primary crusher recently commissioned and delivering material to the coarse ore stockpile (watch the video here). Given the commissioning experience of our operating team, I anticipate an effective and efficient ramp-up to name plate capacity."

Updates fiscal 2025 revenue guidance range Third quarter fiscal 2025 full results to be released on July 2, 2025, with conference call at 5 p.m. ET RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., June 11, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Simulations Plus, Inc. (Nasdaq: SLP) ("Simulations Plus" or the "Company"), a leading provider of cheminformatics, biosimulation, simulation-enabled performance and intelligence solutions, and medical communications to the biopharma industry, today announced preliminary revenue for its third fiscal quarter and updated its full year 2025 revenue guidance. The Company expects to report third quarter fiscal 2025 revenue in the range of between $19 million and $20 million Full year fiscal 2025 revenue is expected to range between $76 million and $80 million The third quarter fiscal 2025 revenue range set forth above is preliminary, unaudited, based on currently available information, and subject to adjustment in the final financial statements to be filed with the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter fiscal 2025, expected to be filed July 2, 2025. Full year fiscal 2025 revenue guidance may also be adjusted when the Company reports third quarter fiscal 2025 results. "Market uncertainties surrounding future funding, drug pricing and potential tariffs are creating significant headwinds for both our pharmaceutical and biotech clients, resulting in budget reductions, project cancellations, and delays that are more pronounced than what we have experienced over the past two years," said Shawn O'Connor, Chief Executive Officer of Simulations Plus. "While our software segment has remained relatively resilient, given its role as critical infrastructure in drug development programs, demand for services has proven more sensitive to market volatility and is coming in below our expectations. "To better position the Company for long-term alignment with our clients, we recently announced a strategic reorganization—transitioning from a business unit structure to a functionally driven operating model. We also made key leadership appointments to enhance client engagement and elevate our sales and marketing capabilities. "These actions mark the final phase of a multi-year transformation aimed at streamlining operations, unlocking synergies across teams, and concentrating our resources on the most promising growth opportunities. We believe the new organizational structure will also foster greater collaboration through centralized product and technology development, contributing to accelerated delivery of software enhancements, platform integration, and AI advancements. "Finally, these changes are expected to improve operational efficiency and better position us for sustainable and profitable long-term growth. Looking ahead, we remain optimistic about the future of predictive analytics in biosimulation and clinical operations. These capabilities are essential to helping our clients achieve greater efficiency and success, and we are proud to be a long-standing partner and innovation leader in this space," concluded O'Connor.
