Before offensive tackle [b]Jon Jansen [/b]restructured his contract this week to provide the Redskins salary cap relief, defensive end [b]Renaldo Wynn[/b] took the same steps -- and the combined savings of the two puts the team about $2 million under the cap. Wynn saved the Redskins $1.9 million. . . .

Hey Matty, I just sent you an email, tried to PM you but I think your inbox is full

Re: Jansen and Wynn have restructured
 

they is the best thing I have heard today.

Re: Jansen and Wynn have restructured
 

This is why Jon Jansen is so freaking great. Seriously, no one around here even talked about him restructuring, and who is the guy to step up and do it, Jon Jansen! Clutch for sure. Very happy too see Wynn has done the same, he is a solid guy, but wasent up to what we were paying him. Very good news from Redskins Park.

Re: Jansen and Wynn have restructured
 

wait wait wait

the redskins saved 2 million. wynn accounted for 1.9 million of the amount saved.

jansen restructured for .1 million. couldnt jansen help out a little more?

Re: Jansen and Wynn have restructured
 

If I understood it right, after the two restructured the team is now $2 million under the cap but that doesn't mean they were right on the cap before hand

So it's possible that Jansen gave up more than Wynn, but I don't know for sure

Re: Jansen and Wynn have restructured
 

Every little bit is going to help and it shows me these guys want to do their part to help this team become a winner again.

Re: Jansen and Wynn have restructured
 

According to the NFLPA, here's how Wynn's [B]base salary [/B] figures were adjusted:

Original contract:
2005: 3,500,000
2006: 4,000,000
2007: 4,000,000

Restructured contract:
2005: 665,000
2006: 1,000,000
2007: 2,000,000

That's a pretty significant restructuring. I'm not sure how the bonuses are distributed, but Canuck can probably figure that out for us.

I wasn't able to find any new information on Jansen's restructuring. I'm sure his 2005 savings were significant, but you have to keep in mind that his original salary figure for 2005 was 1.5 million less than Wynn's to begin with. I'm hoping that they structured Jansen's deal to save more money in 2006, where Jansen's hit is set to be $5.238 Million. It looks like Wynn's deal is going to be 2006-friendly, which is supposed to be the nasty cap year for the Skins.

Re: Jansen and Wynn have restructured
 

Jansen is a "real redskin" and reminds me of Jacoby, Grimm, etc. He will do whatever it takes to help the team. I just hope that his counterpart on the other side of the line gets his greedy ass in line and does the same.

Re: Jansen and Wynn have restructured
 

that's pretty awesome of wynn to have finally done that and he definitely took a big chunk off his contract.
and with Jansen, he just seems like the kind of guy who says: I didn't really earn my paycheck last year so let me rework this years and maybe next year so that when I prove I'm back to 100%, I'll be earning my pay and hopefully a new contract again. Cuz didn't he resign last offseason or shortly before the offseason began?

Well he certainly wouldn't have left money on the table so you can assume that at the very least he got a SB of $7,835,000 to account for the salary lost. His previous bonus number was $583,000. Doing some quick math his bonus number this year would have to be $935,000 to account for the $1,900,000 savings. I would guess that's his base SB number(meaning he got a SB of $2,805,000) so that leaves roster bonuses of $5,030,000 spread out over the final two years.
So his cap numbers look something like this
2005: 2.183
2006: 5.033 (release fee of 3.036)
2007: 6.033 (release fee of 1.518)

the final two years could be anything really based on how they divide up the roster bonus money. I just divided it by half and went to town. I'd like to see what the real numbers show. Either way his cap numbers become craziness after this year and I doubt he is a Redskin beyond this year unless he signs and extension and moves a bunch of this money back again.

Re: Jansen and Wynn have restructured
 

Great news. Now if we can get Samuels to restructure hopefully we can re-sign Pierce, and Smoot. Looks the like the FO is doing whatever they can to re-sign most of our core guys.

Re: Jansen and Wynn have restructured
 

It's time #60 restructured his contract .................Jansen did no reason he can't

Re: Jansen and Wynn have restructured
 

Great move - don't expect any Dline changes after Wynn stepped up like that!

Re: Jansen and Wynn have restructured
 

hopefully Samuels will follow suit. As usual we should have plenty of cap room to do what we need to do.

Re: Jansen and Wynn have restructured
 

Anyone have any ideas what kind of money they are talking about with Samuels. I ran some quick calculations and just about any realistic way of restructuring seems to help the cap the next two years but then the cap numbers become beyond huge. We're talking like 15 and 16 million with signing bonus money of like 8 or 9 a year. That seems a little extreme. I am guessing they are working on just a one year extension or maybe not even a extension and just a salaray reduction for '05 with that money going into a new signing bonus.

Re: Jansen and Wynn have restructured
 

I've heard that Ramsey has also restructured but I can't find anything about it.

Re: Jansen and Wynn have restructured
 

Interesting to note I guess that Renaldo Wynn is the Redskins representative for the NFL Players Union and Jansen is the alternate rep...anyway just a bit of trivia for you union buffs out there

I knew that about Wynn but not Jansen, cool tidbit

Re: Jansen and Wynn have restructured
 

This is beautiful. Now I have something to do today (not counting work).

I'll see if I can put some numbers together.

Re: Jansen and Wynn have restructured
 

I think in samuels case its more of a contract extension that he wants, not to restructure.

Samuels
 

I think the problem with the Samuels restructure is he would probably stand to lose some money in a new deal. Maybe not overall but definitely on a per annum basis.

For Jansen, PR, Wynn, it seems we were able to just move some of the money around without affecting the total amounts.

Samuels stands to make more in his current deal than he would on the open market. The Skins are probably trying to pay him at around market value, so Samuels has no real incentive to restructure. I figure the Skins will have to give him more than market to strike a deal, and that's the problem.

GREAT GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lavar Arrington is the one the media has picked to represent the Redskins, but the player to exemplify the Redskins, is really JON JANSEN.....he really loves the team and this shows it. He's a leader in the locker room. He has a great work ethic. Even during the draft when he was on the ESPN set all draft day........he talked positive about the Redskins and what they were trying to do to improve the team and genuinely sounded excited. He was so excited about playing for Joe Gibbs......and was so devastated over his injury...when sother players would just love to sit around and collect a check.

He was sorely missed this season and I know he will come back ON FIRE to get our offense on track........

And of course Wynn plays for my favorite college team................. ;)
