    So I heard this on the radio this morning and was kind of confused.  Apparently players don't have to agree or sign or do anything for the organization to restructure their current contracts.  Basically they are just changing the way they are paying the player over the current contract length (and most don't care either because it's more cash in hand). I heard it from Sal C. so I have to believe it is true.  

     

    It only matters when they are extended which wouldn't happen since he already has 3 void years on his contract.

     

    #1 - Simple restructure

    Within the constraints of the remaining terms of the contract, a simple restructure turns payouts into prorated signing bonuses. Simple restructures can often be carried out by teams without the player's direct involvement.

    #2 - Maximum restructure

    A maximum restructure either extends the deal or adds vacant seasons to an agreement. These years do not stretch the contract but are solely used as stand-ins for the proration, increasing the cap space via modification into prorated signing bonuses. Maximum restructures are often viewed as a contract rework that requires the player's express approval to be executed.

    i'm a little shocked about #1......but seeing as the remaining terms are likely not guaranteed......and that the signing bonus defacto makes it guaranteed....no player would turn that down

    guessing that beane is making the normal inquiries on hopkins.

     

    hopkins agents tells him buffalo is checking in on you. player fans the social media  flames.

     

    hopkins and/or arizona would likely have to make unwanted concessions to make it happen. deal in limbo.

     

    the Oliver news started with beane approaching his camp on a restructure that would lower his cap, but not add new dollars. oliver said we are only interested in a restructure if adds new dollars and years......thats a no go. hence his comments

     

    i guess its possible both could get resolved together via trade

     

     

    How did the Patriots maintain a top team for 17 years?

    Aaron Rodgers talking with the Jets

    In dealing with the Packers, it’s time for the Jets to act like New Yorkers

    They owe Rodgers nearly $60 million, fully guaranteed, for 2023. If they don’t trade him by Week One, his $58.3 million roster bonus becomes 2023 base salary — sending his cap number through the roof.

     

    Rodgers should tell the Packers that, if he’s not traded before the start of training camp, he’ll be showing up, just like Brett Favre did 15 years ago. Rodgers should tell the Packers that he’ll be there, and that he’ll stay there, until he’s traded, that he fully expects to participate in practice (by rule, the team can’t put him on ice), creating the risk that he’ll suffer a season-ending injury that will put the Packers firmly on the hook for his full compensation package.
