Restructuring means more guaranteed money and nearly always is favorable to the player.

Yeah I get that. I'm just saying that they both account for $125mil guaranteed money total already, so I'm not sure what that restructuring is going to look like.

I just went off of Overthecap's number, and it looks like the could push 26Million out over the next few years. But yeah you would think eventually it would crash around them.

One can only hope.

I like to think that RR saw this coming and bumped the price on Cooper with no intention of signing him.

Apparently the Cowboys write into some players contracts (like Lawrence) that they have to accept restructures. They restructured Lawrence a year or so ago (converting salary to signing bonus then spreading over life of contract).

Thats normal restructuring.

But Jerry Jones added another voidable year so the now bigger singing bonus could be more watered down. I never heard that before.

Hopefully Lawrence continues to regress!

I'm assuming no competent agent would allow a restructure that lowers salary, in which case it is simply more signing bonus and perhaps added years, for most players, given that only guaranteed money really matters, taking future pay in the present is a good deal, especially if no added years. Cowboys just mortgaging future.

Teams add voidable years all the time, it lowers the annual average of the signing bonus cap hit and thus provides cap relief. In English it usually just means dead money in the future, like the recent Rothlis-raper deal.

$66 mil signing bonus (NFL record), and $75 mil in the first year (NFL record). Great job DP.

The Jags are sitting pretty all-around. They can be seriously competitive as soon as next year with a good offseason and Sunshine being anywhere near as good as advertised.

[Chief X_Phackter]

Yeah, but for those guys, their future salaries are already greater than this year's salary. I don't know how they kick the can in this case.

Carlos Dunlap released.

I could see the Ravens calling him but I hope Kerrigan gets to go there.

Has he done a deal with the devil?

He looked like he could go at least 1 more year watching the SB but I think father time might have an argument with him beyond that. No matter how hard he trains his throwing strength is the biggest factor now and that could easily drop off a cliff in the next 12-24 months. All credit to him if he makes it, but I think 3 more is a real push.
