restructure usually means converting current or future base salary into signing bonus, which would only make things worse (cap wise). his base salary for his first three years is basically vet minimum anyways, so there's nothing to move.

and we can't shop him. his contract is horrible except as a 2 year vet min deal with a guarantee to dump him afterwards (instead of paying 4+mill a year) and having him have no real reason to play at all, money-wise. besides, he can't find a spot on the #30 defense and has been embarrassed weekly, so he has ZERO trade value.
