Per Nicky: (Credit Roto for the write-up)
Pay raise to teach the Rammer

Saints RT Zach Strief has agreed to a restructured contract.
He's getting a well-deserved raise. Per Nick Underhill of the New Orleans Advocate, Strief's base salary for 2017 has been increased from $1 million to $1.7 million while his per game roster bonus was bumped up from $1.4 million to $1.7 million. Strief started every game at right tackle last season while earning PFF's No. 10 tackle grade out of 76 qualifiers.

One last nice payday for the big fella

Not bad for a backup RT in 2017

Probably give it to him now, he retires next year, and we save whatever cap

correction: pay raise if Ramcyzyk decides to quit

Just to be clear because the wording is weird, it's not $1.7 mil per game in roster bonuses. It's $1.7 mil total that can be earned in per game roster bonuses (so slightly more than $100k per game).
His cap hit increased by $1 mil total ($700k raise in salary and $300k raise in roster bonuses). 2018 was untouched. In other words this was a straight million dollar raise.
Also well said Gyno.
Though I wouldn't bet on him sticking around after next year (and he may become a cap casualty before next year if Ramcyzk is the real deal).

He is one big mofo who has anchored the right for awhile. If he has something left in the tank, pay him.

I like Strief and all, but am I the only one who thinks this is really weird? Since when do NFL teams give money away with no return? He wasn't holding out, there is no contract extension. How do the Saints benefit? And don't tell me Strief will play better or work harder, he's a pro and was already being paid. Am I wrong to think the Saints should act like a business? Do Belichick or Pete Carroll just hand out raises for no reason? If Strief gets money for nothing, why doesn't Unger, or Ingram, or any other player already under contract who played well last year?

Doesn't seem to benefit the Saints other than keep him happy. I don't have a problem with it though. He's been a pretty damn good RT over the years. Gets more hate than he deserves on here. Sure, he has bad games and is winding down but he's been a solid player through his career.
