He wasn't going to be released this year so this should open up a solid amount of cap space. And if by any chance he gets healthy at some point? Great!

He's been productive when he's been out there. I wonder how much that adds to our cap number. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have just taken away the non guaranteed portion of hte deal as well in the restructure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But will be able to get rid of him next year without a big hit. I'm also guessing there is really no need to touch Jimmy's contract at all?

Has to be his injury guarantee turning into a signing bonus or something like that else why would he agree to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure can but if we do something at the earliest i expect it after the draft since thats when we know if he is the starter next year/year after(if we draft a guy like Lance).

I think a Warner extension wouldn't cost us much in 2021. He'd probably play the year at the same salary, he'd just get the prorated portion of his signing bonus on top of it, while the big money would start in 2022. So let's say he gets a 5 year extension with a 18m signing bonus, he'd get 3m added to his 2021 cap hit, which isn't a whole lot in the grand scheme of things. Restructuring Jimmy's contract will always be a last resort. Not so much because I think the team doesn't believe in his talent enough to justify locking up more dead money to his name. I think the team might not believe in his health enough to do so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't hurt next years cap really but also give us some extra room. I no way do i expect a total restructure but i can easily see a small one happening somewhere between the end of the draft and the start of the league year next year.
