[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 762067, member: 4199"] You can't really restructure any of them. It has to be cut and re-sign or extension. That said, there is one trick available to them that if I understand correctly, would let each of them make their money and keep the cap number low. The trick is "unlikely to be earned" escalators. As I understand it, if a player earns the unlikely to be earned metric, it doesn't count against the cap unless they hit it. So, give Nelson an 600 yard incentive and 800. He didn't make it last year. If he hits them, maybe he earns close to his current number. Keep the base salary low. Do something similar for Matthews. 9 sacks? The downside to both is you'd likely have to extend them in order for them to agree to the deal. Which includes some kind of signing bonus. There's no free lunch here. Cobb is difficult due to his age. He owns the most leverage. Someone else will give him at least a 1 year deal to prove it and still have time to sign another big contract. [/QUOTE]
