Saints to ask Vilma and Smith to restructure

iWho_Dat · 02-18-2013, 08:59 AM

Still talking about the "bounty scandal"?? Good lord Adam and ESPN get a life.

"And here comes Tom Brady and coach billichick who were involved in spygate"Says no ESPN reporter. "Hey Louisianaians Joe Horn who was 1 of the 1,200 players involved in the saints bounty scandal will be in mandeville Saturday selling his BBQ sauce"
Says every ESPN reporter ever. Smh

I can't say I'm really happy about this, but I'll reserve my judgment until the terms of the restructures are announced or if there'll be another outcome to this.

Saints will ask LB Jonathan Vilma and DE Will Smith, two players the NFL linked to its bounty scandal, to restructure their contracts.

defamation of character baby. sue espn

Vilma I'm happy about,
Smith needed to go so the new young talent can start to take place.

With these guys, I can't help but read this as a "reducture".

Excellent!

I'm ok with Vilma. But Smith? Really? I don't mind either sticking around but the price has to be good. Smith isn't worth half of what he's due in 2013.

What I gathered from this limited information was that the restructure would be more about a pay-cut with possibly adding an additional year or two to the present contracts. So the players would get a nice bonus immediately while understanding that they would never play those last years in reality, but then again, the parties might not even agree on the restructure and end up going separate ways.

i can see that. but no matter what the money against the cap will govern the whole thing. i think not seeing these two in black and gold next year is a stretch due to the cap hits no matter what thay do. Next year is a bit of reach to even with redoing the contract. but 1 maybe gone. now two years and i say this is all over.

mickey has his work cut out for him that for sure to speed up this time frame

I will be soo upset if Smith is still here. His roster spot needs to be taken by an up and coming talent.
