Adams restructures, saves 6.6m in cap space

So logic would dictate they don't plan to cut him

Certainly not this year. But, as I said, with the cap increasing, I highly doubt that the restructured this in such a way that they will be in trouble down the road. I guess an end of the world scenario could occur, and the cap doesn't increase. But when was the last time that happened?

Seems like there's some things you could read into it. They aren't planning to cut him anytime soon, but also in the future. They think this stuff through. It would say to me they feel pretty confident in Adam's future

Based on the details of the restructure which I haven't got into, do you guys think Adams did the team a solid or is he as good or even better off financially now?

No, it's beneficial to the player. He's getting his money faster

While some people look at a contract restructure and think the player is taking a pay cut, it is actually quite the opposite. Being a player who gets their contract restructured by a team is much more beneficial because it takes money that may not have otherwise been guaranteed and pays it out right away.

The most simple explanation for a contract restructure is simply taking a portion of a players base salary for a season and converting it into a signing bonus. The player gets their money as the signing bonus at the time of the restructure and reduces how much they are paid throughout the season. In other words, it’s a cash advance which can’t be taken away.

Thank you and Thank God! He has certainly earned it!
