Cash On Hand

Not even rumor grade, just pure speculation/guessing on my part.

This seems to be the season with the most cuts and fewest restructures. But why?

I am unaware of the NFL liquidity requirement for franchise owners. Also clueless as to how Tom Benson's businesses are doing.

We throw around cap and bonuses for restructures with out even a thought to whether Benson has that much cash available.

Signing bonuses have to take a toll on the cash coffer, restricting generally means a few Mil bonus up front.

In comparison to 2013 Jimmy's 7m FT, is a large salary increase between 2013/2014 that has to be paid when he signs. Add 2-3 restructures and that could add 5-6+ million.

What are the chances Benson doesn't have $15m laying around to pay for all of that?
