this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Makes you wonder who will man the middle with Hawthorne in 3-4 sets... We have many options with two first round picks!...

Re: Hawthorne takes pay cut to stay
Glad he took a pay cut instead of being cut. I'm sure he was on the chopping block.

Re: Hawthorne takes pay cut to stay
We can't leave the position completely empty and this does not guarantee he will be the starter this season. I still hope the 'plan' is to DRAFT and sign a few linebackers .

Re: Hawthorne takes pay cut to stay
Good to have the veteran still around.
I think he will be good for the field and the locker room. 4 million down to 1.1 is huge, but if the market isn't much better, he made a good choice. Lofton is outside looking in, and may end up where Hawthorne is right now (if that). Making phone calls, smiling a lot and shaking hands can get old quick. He can still play ball and pay the rent. Good spot to be in when the spots are so few. |

Re: Hawthorne takes pay cut to stay
This is one of those cases where there truly is a pay cut. Hawthorne was due a $2.5M roster bonus. He was obviously told he would be released unless he agreed to restructure. While his annual salary was reduced, the team saved the $2.5M in roster bonus, but did give Hawthorne a $1.5M restructuring Bonus ($750K in 2015 and $750K in 2016) to ease the pain a bit.

Re: Hawthorne takes pay cut to stay
I just read that a player can't just agree to take less money unless he his told he will be cut if he doesn't. Can somebody confirm this?

Re: Hawthorne takes pay cut to stay
That has to be false; Tom Brady restructured his deal a couple years back taking a lot less money... No way in hell would he have been released regardless what he did with the contract
