Message: <blockquote data-quote="sschind" data-source="post: 706686" data-attributes="member: 10247">It may not be a renegotiation as it were but a restructure.   Convert 9 million of his 2017 salary and 4 million of his 2018 salary to a signing bonus and sign him to a 3 year extension with an average salary of about 6 million.  That makes his cap hit this year about 6 million, next year about 10 million and about 10 for the next three years after that.  That way he gets a new deal, a big check up front with some job security and doesn't have to give up any money.  I don't know if he would go for the "you have to take less money or we will let you go" ploy because like you said, he holds all the cards.  Most players of his profile don't take less money, they just move it around to make it more team friendly.  I know Hawk actually took less money a couple of times but I don't think it is common for that to happen.I think I did the math right on that.  the only thing I might have gotten wrong is the pro rating of the SB  I figured 13 million in bonus but prorated over the 3 year extension.  It may kick in immediately which would mean this years and next years cap hits would go up.Anyway, if you could get him down to a cap hit of around 10 million per year with some creative contract wording I think he would be worth keeping around for several more years.</blockquote>
