klos63 Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 Not sure what he means by this, I'm assuming it will pay off more if we wait to restructure some of our guys like Dareus Clay and Glenn? Probably means, just don't restructure if you already have the cap space. Let the deals expire as originally planned or only restructure if it's critical.

Let the deals expire as originally planned or only restructure if it's critical. May as well not restructure and eat the bigger hits this year to clear up more space for next year should any restructures be necessary. We're not close and I wouldn't want to push any more dead money into the future if we can avoid it. The lack of restructures actually indicates to me that the Fo finally has some self-awareness and is trying to get ride out the terrible cap position we're in.

Well said.
BarleyNY Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 Looking at about $8M in space by Rule of 51 after draft picks are signed. Will need a few million for in season use and less than one million for PS players. So we still have a little money to play with without making any moves.
