Roughly a 4 million dollar hit to release Thomas, and roughly 2 million to release Jansen.
In my opinion: it makes sense to restructure Thomas and just leave Jansen's contract as it is. My reasoning: Thomas is more of a lock to play out his contract here than Jansen is. Thomas is under contract for 5 more seasons and likely will play 4 of them. Jansen is under contract for 4 more seasons, and we might be able to squeeze two out of him.
Schneed may have a different interpretation though.
