After releasing running back Pierre Thomas yesterday, the Saints continue to inch toward getting under the 2015 salary cap, restructuring the contract for safety Jairus Byrd. Field Yates of ESPN.com reports (via Twitter) that the club has converted Byrd’s $6MM roster bonus into a signing bonus, creating $4.8MM in cap savings for ’15.

Before the restructure, Byrd had been set to count for $10.3MM on New Orleans’ books for 2015 — that figure included his $6MM roster bonus, his $2MM base salary, $2.2MM in prorated signing bonus money, and a $100K workout bonus. By converting the roster bonus into a new signing bonus, the Saints can spread the cap hit over the next five years, making it count for just $1.2MM per year. So Byrd’s deal now includes that $2MM base salary and $100K workout bonus for 2015, along with $3.4MM in total prorated bonus money, for a total cap number of $5.5MM.

Although restructuring Byrd’s contract is a start, the Saints still have a ways to go before they’re under the cap, and will have until Tuesday to make all their moves. Contracts for players like Junior Galette, Jahri Evans, Marques Colston, Ben Grubbs, and Curtis Lofton are among the others that figure to be addressed in some form or other.

They are just making it even more difficult on them for the 2016 season.

Pulling a Hurney and just pushing that money back

As someone that doesn't fully understand how the restructuring works could you explain to me how this works?

From my understanding money will be saved this year but hurt them more next year. So basically it just puts the salary a year back? And can this only be done once?

They turn a players salary into a "signing bonus". This ends up being the same amount of money, but now they can spread that amount of money over the rest of the contract. The issue is that this money is now guaranteed. It counts as dead money if the player is cut or traded.

For instance if a player signed a 5 year 50 million dollar contract with only 10 million guaranteed, they would most likely spread out the 10 million over 5 years. (2 mil per year). When they cut said player, whatever guaranteed money is left is what counts as dead money against the cap.

So since the player counts as 10 million againot the cap every year, say in year 3 they need cap space and want to restructure his contract. they can take the 8 million of non guaranteed money that year and convert it to a signing bonus, which can be spread over the last three years. Which now means he only counts 4.6 mil against the cap that year (the 8 divided by three plus the original 2), a savings of 5.4 mil, however his cap next year is now up 2.6 mil as is the year after that. Furthermore if the player sucks, his dead money is now increased by 5.2 million next year which leaves little cap relief if cut.

That's the basics of it, there's a little more to it. Someone correct me if I got something wrong.

Zod owes me 12 dollars today.

Zod owes me 13 dollars tomarrow.

Me and zod restructured.

He now only owes be 7 dollars today,

But now owes me 18 tomarrow.

Helps him out today, fugs him tomarrow.

Now in real contracts, that can spread that amount of money over the remaining number of years so its not such a jump. But, still. It fugs you in the long run

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.

      I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.

      You can go back to the New York Knicks somehow getting Patrick Ewing.  I saw a story where they place the New York Knick card in the freezer right before the drawing.  It was simple.  Show everyone the cards are undetectable to the human eye.  All they had to do was grab the coldest card. IMO ever since Goodell took over the NFL it has been fishy.  Patriots winning the SB after 9/11, New Orleans after Katrina and Peyton Manning's going away gift against us. The terrible calls during that game were blatantly one sided.  New England should have been stripped of their first 3 SB when they were caught spying on the other team in their SB wins.  I think the evidence against the Patriots was so damning Goodell felt it could ruin football and they brushed it under the table.   In the 2004 SB, How did we go from practically no yards in the first Quarter to setting a record in the 3rd Qtr.  Dan Henning changes the game plan.  IMO probably the greatest half time adjustment of all time.
