He won't make the HOF in my opinion.
His numbers are great but no hope of the HOF if he can't even get the respect of a probowl.

Oh! He will make the alternate HOF then.

Yep. Just needs some of the regulars to move away

What this all tells me is that we have no idea of the personal relationships between the GM and the players. Looms obviously has a nose for which players are willing to restructure.

Can't wait for next season. The off season soap opera is too much for me.

Every single player wants a restructure, because when base salary is turned into a prorated signing bonus - the player immediately gets that bonus on his bank account.

They're not getting pay cuts, but a big part of their future salary is being paid to them right now instead of waiting for it and possibly never getting all of it, since not all base salary is guaranteed.

Exactly. Restructuring is always a good thing for the player. The front office would rather avoid it and if necessary only do it with players that they expect to be around for the life of the contract because if the player is cut the cap is hit with the entire prorated amount at one time.

You can't make 10-12 year olds understand that possesion recievers are more important than the 60-80 yard bomb catchs that make those recievers more espn top plays of the day heros in there eyes.

Mickey must love these defensive players if he's not even asking them to restructure.

Wish I could get some of that up front money. I'd probably retire.
