It's a done deal, exact numbers not know yet.

Good deal, they seem to be moving quick, could this mean we'll have an exciting shopping frenzy this offseason?

This is great news, they are moving forward quickly. They were around 12 million or so over the cap still before they redid Timmon's deal. It could be closer to 6 million now.

timmons and woodley no they arent losing money, ward and hampton will though as their restructures are paycuts and not backloads and bonuses

**steelchamp204** · 02-09-2012, 01:55 PM

Good they should use the draft and FA to get some Olinemen.

very good news!!!!

Players usually don't have a problem restructuring deals, they just get a big huge check right away rather than having it spread out over the course of the season. They still get a gamecheck each week but it's considerably smaller because of the up front money they were paid to ease the cap hit.
