Now suppose we settle with AB, grievance disappears, bring him back, and restructure the deal for $6m instead of $9m (since a third of season is gone) and split it $2m this year and $4m next year, then not only do we get AB but also $3m cap space this year

Electroshock therapy might be an option
What do you mean? He’s currently eating $5m from this year’s cap and $4m from 2020 cap. We can’t touch that cap since he’s filed a grievance that won’t settle till next year. If it’s decided we don’t have to pay him, we’ll get credit for this $5m next year and that $4m hit for next year would disappear.

Almost makes too much sense!
Could do like a Total Recall type-thing as well.you’re on a roll!!
Man that thing messes with my rods and cones...

I don't think you should consider yourself such.Ok. I stand corrected.
So if NE resigned him they'd have to fit him into the current cap the same way they'd have to fit in any newly signed player.
Even if his long shot re-signing were to happen, I think it’s pretty obvious that nothing gets done until the league rules on their investigation.
Considering they haven’t even interviewed him yet, the NFL clearly wants him sidelined for as long as possible.
Tom Brady Likes Antonio Brown's Patriots-Themed IG Post Amid Rumors of Potential Return
Brady needs to somehow convince Kraft to bring Brown back. Nothing will happen until his status with the league is resolved though.

That’s all well known, but thanks I guess.The NFL hasn’t sidelined him at all, he sidelined himself. He’s eligible to play but no one wants to touch him. Any team that wants to can sign him right now.

You can't go back and change the effects of the previous, terminated contract. Once a contract is terminated its current year cap effects are set in stone.
No matter what, Brown counts for $5mil in dead money this year and there's no way to change that. As far as the cap is concerned Brown Part 2 is a different player than Brown Part 1. The $5mil dead money on the 2019 cap for from Brown Part 1 can't be reduced by a new contract.

He walks in as AB. Gets hooked up to the gizmos, picks "Patriots Vacation Package" as Julian Edelman", scrambles his brain a little and hes now singing the Patriot Way for the rest of the year.
