could you provide a link to where it says he took a pay cut? I cant seem to find one. Also is restructuring the same as a pay cut?
I have a hard time believing Hawk was offered more from another team the day he was cut. He is still extremely overpaid.

So not a pay cut in the traditional sense. They cut him to avoid paying him the guaranteed money and then re-signed him to a lower valued contract. To me it's essentially a pay cut, but potato, potato I guess.
