No way Unger should restructure or be asked. He is the only one with a pulse on that line.

We had one of the top Olines in the league. I do think we could use a younger G and draft a T to play behind Strief after next season.

quote:Do you understand how "restructuring" a roster bonus works? It is basically a paper transaction whereby the roster bonus is converted to a signing bonus so that it can be spread over the remaining contract. The player still gets the same money (a lot of times earlier than the actual roster bonus would have been paid).

Restructuring is usually beneficial to the player. You restructure players that you expect to be here for a bit and it allows you to spread out their by converting salary or roster bonuses into a signing bonus. He has a $4 million roster bonus next year that can be converted spreading it out over the final 3 years
Since the cap rolls over year to year, there really isn't a reason to not restructure a contract if you need space.
We have 4 good offensive lineman. 2 elite for their position and another playing at a very, very high level. Unger, Peat, and Armstead is a hell of a trio on the left side.

This is never a pay cut, so Unger gets his money they just restructure the way that the money is paid out.
Often a guy will be due an amount his final year--say 5 million. The Saints will give the guy a check for an amount say $4 million and then add a year or two on to the contract making that $4 million spread out on the books over those 2-3 years.
