Re: Terron Armstead Restructures Contract

I have pointed this out several times before, but here it is one more time.

Armstead DID NOT restructure his contract. He had no say so in it whatsoever. Roster bonuses are able to be converted to signing bonuses SOLELY at the discretion of the team. The player has zero input. It is a mechanism that teams can use to prorate the bonus as opposed to paying it in one lump sum. The result is nil to the player. He still receive the full amount in exactly the same manner.

As I also pointed out several times earlier, the Saints had over $14 million in roster bonuses counting toward the 2017 cap. They still have another $9 million remaining that they can convert as they so wish.

All that said, the only reason to convert is if it is going to be needed. It looks like the Saints have more major moves in mind.

Re: Terron Armstead Restructures Contract

See? Even most of these media hacks don't understand the way roster bonuses work. That's why you should never take anything they post at face value without doing a little research first.

Never forget how they ran with the lies from that little weasel, Mike Cerullo, and forever falsely branded the Saints.

I'll never forget this a$$wipe.

We are actually around $16.7 million under the cap with another $8 million or so available in roster bonus conversion. About $7.5 million of that would be slotted for the draft class at this point. Therefore, in currently unconverted and allocated cap we are setting at around $8.8 million.

It all depends on how you look at it. There is also a great deal more available through true contract restructures/extensions.
