I definitely wouldn't say that. Unless we planned on cutting Hawthorne this year we are still paying him the same amount overall.
He's still more expensive to cut in terms of dead money. Looking into the specifics, they did only convert his $3m roster bonus into a signing bonus, so it's not as much money as I suspected. Unfortunately he's cheaper to keep than cut until his final season. Hopefully he goes back to his Seattle days and it becomes a moot point. He definitely had some really good games last season.

He's 50/50 next season in savings to dead money straight cut, and especially when you consider the June 1st cut option where he becomes 3 to 1 he didn't kill us with his restructure in the least.
We needed the money then so we had to do it. And we need the money now and the only guys to really consider restructuring are Brees(who makes much more sense next year), Evans, Grubbs, and Colston.
Either that or making some other cuts like Bunkley, Moore, Sproles, and/or Thomas(nobody else saves enough to really be worth it besides Evans and he isn't getting cut). Likely have to do a combination of cuts and restructures anyway.
We can only designate 2 June 1st cuts and Bunkley is the primest of the prime candidates for that. Only other options are Moore, Harper, and Greer.
So what moves are you going to make? Keeping in mind we still have to make more room to tag Graham, sign at least Bush, Morgan, and Harris to their tenders, get another starting corner unless we are going to rely on an unknown rookie/White/PRob, figure out RT and C, and sign our rookies.
