While a restructure happens, I suspect it would work like Carl Lawsons and Jordan Whiteheads, hey redid their contracts to take a lower salary. So yes it would be a restructure (which can be done annually) but their total dollars earned this year would decrease, or we would cut them.
JFM will be traded to get us capital back or to try and add into a deal for Davante Adams. Mosely will probably ask to be cut rather than take less money. I have no idea what Laken would do. Uzamoh doesn’t get a choice cut his derriere in the tunnel after week 17.
Well put.
Carl Lawson had a choice. Stay here and make less than you would have or get cut and make even less than that as a free agent. In other words, we'll pay you more than anyone else to stay, but not as much as you would have made. Take it or leave it. He took it. Only difference is that Carl Lawson had no dead cap if he got cut, so he had less leverage.
I agree about Mosley. He could still make good money elsewhere. The question is how much. Also, how motivated is he to stay here or to leave here. He might be willing to take less money to get outta here or to stay depending on how he feels about the team. He has a big cap # for his age though, it's hard to look at. He's arguably still worth it though, even at his age.
