I'm not seeing Taylor entertaining ANY idea of signing a new contract for less money. When both parties signed (or received) that contract they usually expect the terms to be upheld. A player can use holding out as leverage to get a new deal in his favor. Teams have no leverage against a player other than cutting him from the team...which might be advantageous to the player anyway.
...in short, any forecasting of Taylor restructuring for less puts the *** in asinine.

I think Taylor opened the door to this when he commented on his own view of his value. I think that the team does have leverage with the threat of cutting him, as his stock definitely went down after last year's outing. I sure hope JT stays on the team, but that should only happen if he restructures.
