Restructuring of Contracts Consequences and Repercussions Thread

Well if your sure that player will be around and perform, its a win-win.

Most of these guys were due this money anyway, so it helps to restrucure (or balance out) the cap hits. They're calculated risks we really had no alternatives to.

Hawthorne - Minor risk, minor injuries last year.
Colston - Anything can happen, but I expect him around a few more years
Grubbs - OG's typically have a long NFL career. Grubbs was a safe risk.
Evans- See Grubbs comments

The only HUGE risk will be Brees. If we convert most of his money to guaranteed and he gets seriously injured, we're up Falcon creek without a paddle.

Its a gamble no doubt, but on the surface looks to be relatively safe.

Well put.

Hopefully the new TV deals will increase the cap more than the more conservative reports have stated they will, since these restructures are increasing the annual cap hit of the coming years, but still low risk moves IMO.

So, you think that all of these players will perform at the current level, with no injuries, for the life of their contracts?
BTW, I bet the contracts were extended by at least one more year for each player.
Guaranteed $ is going to reset the NFL.
Prudent teams that don't rush into this boom market might have a dynasty in a few years.
