It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Do the Patriots have a history of moving around on Draft Day?A source tells me that the Pats haven't had many draft talks w/ other teams. and that he expects that to increase a bit next week, mostly during the actual draft.
Ok fine.

Caserio says Pats haven't had many draft talks w/ other teams. Expects that to increase a bit next week, but mostly during the actual draft.
Don't forget that $7.5 million dead money anchor AH hung on the team last year. Hopefully after the Revis and Mankins dead money hits this year we can go into next season without a any more major handcuffs.The Patriots have really cleaned up the salary cap.
Wilfork's huge contract eliminated, sadly.
Amendola restructured with savings.
Mayo restructured with savings.
It is hard to point to any really overpaid players.
McCourty at $6mm? That's what it cost to retain him.
Cannon at $2.6mm for a back-up tackle? Not crippling.
Arrington at $4mm? He might have to start.
Logan Mankins & Revis' dead cap space finished this year.
Having all the leverage? In what way? Coming off two straight injury curtailed seasons doesn't exactly spell leverage to me, especially when Collins and Hightower played so well in his absence.
Mixed. Maybe it motivates clubs to cut vets but it also gets an extra new player drafted higher and paid more than he woulda been as a UDFA since the club gets > 7 picks that are paid higher than UDFAs.

The Pats don't tend to do moves like this unless there is a corresponding move that cost money coming down the pipeline.
Maybe something will happen on draft day as a lot of you are already thinking.
I doubt they would ask him to do this then just sit on it. Not how they work.
Except he must have passed his physical or they couldn't have restructered. At least that's my understanding.Having the ability to not be cut because his contract was fully guarenteed for injury. Mayo was going to be a 10 mil cap hit the entire season if he didn't pass a physical.
Where are you seeing those bonus numbers? I haven't seen them reported anywhere.Question......what happens to the $3.6 million in signing bonus for 2015 and the $2.4M for 2016. This might not be as much a "break" as people think.
Is it really......$4.5M in salary......$1.5M in incentives.......plus $3.6M prorated signing bonus for a total cap hit of $9.6M?
After all, the $4.5M was guaranteed anyways, right? The $3.6M cant go anywhere, right?
Hes do for a healthy year. so happy hes not going anywhere. they won a superbowl without him. they will be that much better with him on the field and healthy.Just stay healthy Jerod !!

My guesttimate range of Mayo's cap savings goes from minimum of $1.75m to a max of 4,607,500.
Someone gets the best news of it all. He must have passed his physical because he couldn't have re worked a contract without one.As an aside, does this mean he's passed his physical?
Minimum of $1,750,000 comes from
1.) Lowering salary from $6.25 million to $4,500,000.
New cap number would consist of
$4,500,000 salary (fully guaranteed)
$3,600,000 old signing bonus proration
$250,000 workout bonus
$187,500 46-man active roster bonus
