Greer and Jenkins can both go, agreed.

Now after reading you are keeping as much depth as we have starters? As I read your reply we will have Grubbs, DLP, +1 C, Brown, Harris, Lelito, Evans, Strief, Armstead, Nsekhe... Thats 10 offensive linemen, we only carried 8 this year.

No one in the organization has any leverage what so ever to force a restructure on Brees. I wouldn't factor it in to any equation, if it happens fine but there is nothing that can be done if he doesn't agree.

Org will always go into camp with at least 10-11 OL guys. If DLP hangs on to the starting job, great, if not he gets cut. Same for competition with Harris/Brown for the swing tackle and whatever new faces there are.

Brees is certainly under no obligation to restructure, but he doesn't really have any reason not to. Brady did it this past year, all it really does is convert his base salary into signing bonus so he gets paid all at once instead of individual game checks. What a burden...LOL
