Brady May or may not create space because it’s going to be an extension with a new bonus.They will surely get extra relief after they restructure (extend & convert to upfront signing bonus):
- Tom Brady
- D.McCourty
- Gronk
- Hightower
Mccourty and gronk (like Brady) cannot be restructured because they are in the final year.
To extend them would add whatever new signing bonus they get to next years cap (less the part that counts this year) in addition to what you push out.
The cap hit next year if the retire would then be substantially higher than the amount we save this year. That doesn’t seem like the way we handle the cap.
Hightower could free up a little but would push money into an already large future cap hit.
Brady will get extended and could save nothing or maybe up to 3 mill. I don’t think any of the other 3 will.
