ColoradoBills Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 48 minutes ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: I wonder why the Bills are waiting to do Allen’s restructure? Could it be a restructure/extension? No way. Beane does this every year. He only restructures when he needs to and it's always close to the last minute. Beane is not going to restructure a bunch of contracts and have a lot of space on the books, then go shopping. Beane restructures as he signs players.

It will be a simple conversion of base pay to signing bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His contract is perfectly set up for some sort of change in 2025 (the peak of his current contract cap hit). Technically, this is the 1st year of his 6-year contract extension. I give an extension a 1% chance of happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 4 hours ago, buffaloboyinATL said: Seriously? How do you re-structure a fully guaranteed contract without adding years to the deal? The article says they converted salary into a signing bonus, but if it was already fully guaranteed, why would that matter? I want them to choke on that contract, so I hate seeing that there are loopholes available to them. Anyone get how this works? https://news.yahoo.com/ap-source-browns-restructure-watson-134639003.html I wonder what happens if he goes Hernandez to his cap hit?
