He saw the writing on the wall. Big John Jenkins and Hicks are the starters now... can't pay a backup 4 million dollars.

Not just a restructure, but less (way less) money.
Loomis is a genius, and give BB credit for knowing his value. Little strange that Bunkley gave of $3.5 this year- he was holding all the cards

the countdown for the Graham deal is on

Glad we worked something out. Bunkley is a very good NT.

also, Bunkley knows that if he didn't restructure he ran a pretty big risk of being a June 1 cut, and the way things are for veterans anymore, there's no way he was going to get anything close to 4.4 million/year on the open market.

The tradeoff for the Saints of course is that they are basically committed to him for at least 2015, since they can't restructure two years in a row and cutting him would be a massive dead money hit.

look at it this way- he was due $5 mill for 2014, and cutting him would have left us a a $5 million dollar hole and no player. That money was gone either way

This way we have money now, and taking a three year average, he now makes $3.5 mill annually
