re: If you were Drew would you restructure?

Restructure means same money, just up front.

Yes, in every way. You know your status with the current regime/organization, you are the "savior" of a city, and you know the backlash it would have if the team would ever cut you.

You do a restructure and play it out til you're 38, or you extend it for full guarantee money/contract similar to Brady (except you don't do it as cheaply as a 3yr/27mil) if you expect to play til you're 40-41.

He would have 2yrs left on the initial 100million contract, the start of the 2017 season he'd be 38. So a 3yr, 40million contract extension (after all the signing bonuses, restructuring it, etc.) could alleviate something like 26.4mil/27.4mil cap into 16.4mil/17.4mil cap

Spread the 20mil from those 2 years into the 3 yr deal making the last 3 years 20mil cap hit/year.

Financially, he'd be making 13.3mil/yr in the last 3 years he signs, but it is fully guaranteed and the 10mil/yr cap hit reduction gives us the possibility of making a FA move for a WR, #2CB, or a better OG to protect him.
