There's just nobody to shore up the middle and take the reigns at this point.

I'm buying the goat's milk on this one. I totally agree with this.
My guess is Fletch stays for one more year, maybe with a Lewis-like preseason announcement so he can take a (well deserved) victory lap around the league. I don't see a restructure happening. We wouldn't save that much and Fletch isn't the type of guy you force to restructure. $6.2M it is, fair deal.
Not sure about my boy Santana at $6.3M though...
