That article is deceptive where it says they want him to convert salary into bonus and reduce his cap number. In order for that to happen he has to take less not only this year but every year of the contract because of the 30% rule. If it were a simple restructure he'd do it in a heartbeat. They can't even do what they did last year and make salary into incentives because in the last capped year all incentives count against the cap as if they were likely to be earned so his cap hit wouldn't change.
