You have it backwards. Restructuring is the team's last resort. Every restructure helps the player and hurts the franchise. There is little doubt that Brees' agent is begging Loomis for a restructure (which in Brees' case would be an extension), but it is not in the best longterm interest of the team. At least not this year.

For all the media wailing over long term cap hell this team is in a good position cap wise next year. If the big under performing earner are cut we would have holes to fill but would have over $35ml in cap space.
If Colston,Grubbs,Hawthorne,Lofton and Bunkley got cut next summer(if they dont this) then we have $37ml in free cap room and thats with Brees cap hit of $27ml and Evans $10.2. But Its should be said that Hick,Jordan,Lelito and K.Robinson are all out of contract too. |

We don't know if this is Drew's final contract, who's to say he doesn't retire after the length of this deal is done and that's why they haven't added years

Drew is willing to restructure. The FO wants to restructure. It will happen when it is beneficial for both parties. Apparently, now isn't the time to push his money forward. After all the FO wants to extend him but they don't want to get tied too deeply into a contract that may or may not have value longer than a single extension.
