you can always manipulate the cap. there are players that are willing to restructure. if you need space in a current year there is never a really good reason not to do it.
Just more kicking the can down the road.
Sure it helps this incompetent front office out today and Reshad gets a nice healthy upfront payment for his troubles . . . But when he is 32 and potentially out of his prime, yet we are faced with a 15 million dollar cap hit and a 5 million dollar dead cap hit to cut bait . . . You get the same outrage you get with Suh.
**** has got to get better on the contract front from these guys.
Because the money he was going to maybe get paid if he wasn't cut in future years is now given to him immediately in the form of a bonus. There's no "good guy Rashad" in this. No player would ever refuse a restructure, since it's entirely in their benefit.I'm going to ask a question that I really don't know the answer to. Why would a player not agree to a restructure of his contract? It seems like he's making the same salary it's just a matter of moving the numbers around so where is the negative to doing so?
Exactly. It's not a pay cut, it's merely postponing some of Jones' 2018 cap number to 2019, 2020 and 2021. He still receives the same money this year.guys, restructure is not the same as a pay cut. He will still get the same amount in case you're wondering
Ozzy rules!!
In this case there is no negative for the player. Usually a restructure is good for the player because it's usually not a pay cut but base salary converted into bonus money and this means immediate payment instead of 16 weekly checks.I'm going to ask a question that I really don't know the answer to.

Correct, nothing do with him being a team player.All this team player stuff . . . Reshad has proven before that he will hold out once his guaranteed money is up . . . Even with TWO years left on a deal.
This is about him getting cash today, as it should be . . . The team benefiting in the process is a distant second. He knows he is expendable in 2 or 3 years, may as well get the money now, increase the dead cap hit down the road and give the team a tough decision on whether to take on dead cap or keep him around later in the contract.
He did it because he gets the full 8.4 million now instead of later this year in 16 installments.If I were the player I would do it, but only for some sort of raise or extra guaranteed money.
