I don't agree. The players don't care whether they're getting their money in the form of a roster bonus, base salary, or restructured signing bonus. They'd be happy to restructure any day of the week for anybody as long as they're getting their money.
You have to give credit to Snyder for planning this all along. He backloads contracts on purpose with the intent of restructuring the big payments at a later date. He's been doing it for a couple years now, and now that those big contracts are getting into the backloaded portions, he's just following through with his plan.
Credit goes to Gibbs for picking which players to sign in the first place. But credit goes to Snyder for planning the salary cap.
