Among the current or imminent restructures are the following players:
Orlando Scandrick
Jay Ratliff
DeMarcus Ware - for the 3rd consecutive season!
Jason Witten
Ryan Cook
Miles Austin
Nate Livings
Mackenzie Bernadeau
Jason Witten
Brandon Carr
Plus more coming though I could take a few guesses. Meanwhile I see all the clowns on BTB talking like, "see? They've got the cap under control. Everything's fine. Stephen Jones rocks!" They have absolutely no appreciation for what 12 restructures means.
Carr wasn't that great last year but okay, sure, Ryan Cook fine. But Ratliff, Scandrick? Ware's remaining cap years weren't steep enough already? Jason Witten's now an $8.5m cap charge in 2014 and 2015, for a 11 year veteran tight end. Can't cut him because that's $10m, and you can't let him retire, so restructure him again next year to fit under the cap...
See that's the problem with this whole restructure-endlessly strategy; you get to the point where you can't. Players break down, get old, bust, or just have no more future contract years to defer costs into.
All I need to see is Doug Free have $6m turned into bonus and $35 million guaranteed to Romo.
