Gostkowski impending?
Yikes. That's why I don't like restructures.
He has plenty of bargaining power. Despite a few key missteps, he knows the FAs out there are a much scarier proposition for a team that intend such on contending for the big prize.If that’s the only move, I will be disappointed. According to Miguel, they had around 2.5 million in cap space before this Gilmore restructuring. If they needed more than that to re-sign Gost, that would be a major overpay, IMO. He doesn’t have much bargaining power, unless the bears are making a push to sign him behind the scenes. I personally hope that they bring in a rookie kicker to compete with him.
Hopefully this indicates that another deal will soon to be announced as well.
That has to equate to a Gost signing today, possibly as well as one of Humber/McClellan in the near future. Aside from that, they should be good until Brady’s extension.
Don’t see much reason for any other restructures, since this should take care of immediate needs plus provide money for either a mid tier player or the rookie pool. The Brady extension will add to the surplus for in-season signings.
I don’t care. I can stand it.If that’s the only move, I will be disappointed. According to Miguel, they had around 2.5 million in cap space before this Gilmore restructuring.

We still need money for draft picks, players 52 and 53, Ir players, a practice squad and in season pick ups.If that’s the only move, I will be disappointed.

so we'll likely cut him in 2021 unless he is Champ Bailey and plays at an extremely high level at 30 years old and we give him an extension to reduce the 2021 caphit. There might be a lockout that year anyway lolGilmore's cap numbers:

This isn’t extra money to spend it’s one step toward getting out of cap poverty.
I don't think this move is soley because of GhostI understand that they eventually needed more than 2.5 million in cap space, but the draft is not for another five weeks. Is there some salary cap compliance deadline prior to the draft of which I am not aware?
Money for draft picks, sure. But you don’t need to worry about players 52, 53, IR and mid season pickups until September. No need to rush that decision now if you don’t need to; it just might work itself out naturally (i.e. someone like Guy, Pennel, Burkhead, etc. looking like crap in preseason and being outplayed by a rookie) or it might now. Clearly more space will be needed then. But if you don’t absolutely need the space right now, no need to box yourself into a decision now.We still need money for draft picks, players 52 and 53, Ir players, a practice squad and in season pick ups.

As the person who updates the BSJ cap pages I will just say I have never been six contracts behind.
.
The reason why nothing has happened can be that. But it can also be a lack of a reason to do it right now. If you don't do anything with the space right now what is the point of having it ? It is not like they are gonna pay any bills until offseason workout bonuses start getting hit / drafted players sign a contract.
You don't like restructures because you believe that a player's cap hit is relevant to decision-making.Yikes. That's why I don't like restructures.
