Brees has already said he is more than willing to restructure. It was not financially necessary until this coming off-season.

I believe it was "financially necessary" last season to restructure his contract, prior to releasing several veteran players to clear cap space. Now that the team has already been gutted tells me that Brees was not in agreement with restructuring his contract and is now being forced to, or else. (IMO) Saints are already in rebuild mode. Releasing him and handing the reins over to Grayson so that he can mature with the current younger plays seems logical to me.
