Aren't you happy we didn't restructure people to resign CD and Jonnu now? Restructuring isn't that clean. If you do it too much, you end up in a situation where CAP wise, you're overpaying for a player and might not be able to get rid of them. JRob might be banking on a significant CAP increase in 2022. Either way, it was worth the risk for JJ.
So it looks like we created $15,600,000 this year but Tanny's cap hit increases by $7,800,000 in 2022 and 2023. Again, worth the risk.

With hindsight, I agree.I think the thought process for JRob was that there was no reason to do it before signing or trading for someone. He knew he could do it at any point if he needed to, so why do it before he has to?
And agreed that Julio is definitely a different calculus than most other players.
How so? Let's say my salary was $30M but I'm restructuring $15M over 3 years. My new salary is $15 with a bonus of $5. Then I'll get an extra $5 each of the next two years.
I think teams might increase the total bonus to incentivize the player, but that just increases

It is very possible I'm missing something.
Are you sure? I don't think that's right. Even per the tweet below, it looks like Tanny is only getting $10M this year. I think he was scheduled for $30+. Now he's scheduled for a big come up the next two years.What is happening is base salary is being turned into guaranteed bonus money. This allows the team to spread the cap hit over the length of the contract. So the player doesn’t get less money now. He gets what he was going to get. He usually gets a lot of it up front with a smaller game check because the base salary is lower.

CorrectI thought the toral amount of money Tannehill actually receives each year stays the same. It's just that now the cap hit has been shifted to next year and 2023 instead of this year by converting some of his salary to bonus.
Don't doubt JRob again!I was definitely wrong about that part of this. I just couldn’t figure out why JRob wouldn’t have restructured contracts earlier in the offseason to create cap space. Especially with the cap going down. But I guess he truly felt like CD84 and Jonnu were replaceable pieces. I figured he was just not going to restructure anyone but clearly when a HOF player becomes available it changes the game a little bit.
and worth every pennyTannehill will be paid top 5 QB money in 2022. More than Russel Wilson and Mahomes. Geez
