...so it's not looking so gloomy.

Unless you meant "pay cut" or "extension" instead of restructure Harper is not possible. Like Smith, the remaining years left in his contract leave zero room for a restructure with out a crippling effect next year..

Harper is also too expensive to cut this year. That was just a butt ugly contract to start with based on his performance. Next hear his salary goes up to +7.9M but his dead money goes down from 6.1M to 3.05M.

Be very cognisant of a few things, because what Smith did to help us this year makes matters worse next year.
