A restructure would mean we can keep him and save money. |

Re: Saints top 20 salary cap figures...
Bunkley is a 9 year vet with 3 years left on his contract... I wouldn't extend him which is what is needed to restructure.
I would leave it as it is and cut a bunch of lower salary players that have less than 10k in dead money. |

He gets more money up front, we reduce his cap 25% |

Re: Saints top 20 salary cap figures...
I'm really undecided what to do about Bunkley.........I think he stays at salary this year and then next year we reevaluate him. If he's doing great we resign him to the deal Danno was referring to where we just stretch out his money a little further and give him a nice fat bonus.

Re: Saints top 20 salary cap figures...
I think we should restructure Colston. Push Brees money to next year and I think they'll end up cutting more before June but they will want to make sure our young receivers can produce first
