Just so you guys are aware... IF a player that was originally on your roster restructures his contract in the NFL, you can change his base salary to the new one if you have proof of the change (reliable link). For example, the Steelers recently restructured the contracts of Lawrence Timmons and LaMarr Woodley. Timmons' base salary has dropped from 2.625M to 700K and Woodley's base salary has dropped from 3.4M to 700K. Because Woodley is still on the Steelers roster in the GM League, Boik can change his salary to 700K. However because Boik traded Timmons to the Seahawks earlier this week, Timmons' salary cannot be changed.
You can post any restructures that you find on your own team here and I will approve the change if it is reliable... so keep an eye out on your respective team's news in the NFL. We've always had this rule (since I can remember) but I just thought to bring it to your attention after seeing the Steelers two restructures.

So if the Eagles re-sign DeSean Jackson for a deal worth 5m a year tomorrow, I don't have to franchise him?

Exactly. And if your going to change the salary for the team, why not if their traded? Makes no sense.

FTR Not being a dick, I was just bringing up legit talking points.....I know you do a **** ton Mat, so I am not trying to stir the pot.

it wouldn't be the GM League without someone trying to lawyer all the rules.
It doesn't work when traded, because the player has his salary restructed by his original team so if he is moved before that we assume the team that gets him already knows the risks involved and wouldn't restructure the deal.GridIronKing34 likes this. -

Doesn't matter what the trader thought or knows. Simple fact is if I look at Lawrence Timmons salary its not what it is in this league. If your going to change the salary, change them all. If your going to freeze the rosters. Freeze them. Restructuring their deals are moves made by the real life franchise after rosters frozen. It should not effect the salaries in here IMO.Fin-Omenal likes this. -
This reminds me of when a stipulation took CB Chris Gamble away from me...injustice injustice injustice.

Holy whambance batman. Stop complaining. It carries the same benefit for everyone. If Eli manning restructures his deal the NYG gain cap space. If you traded Eli well then your SOL. If Timmons were listed at 700k at the time the league started he may not have been dealt. I'm out of 1.9M in cap space. Sure i got Okung but maybe i would have dealt someone else. Sucks for me.

Though I guess on the whole I stand to lose about a million in cap room on this (before cuts), it seems valid enough. The trade issue, people factor in salary in their trades and I sure as **** know that's true. If someone's deal drops by more than 2MM or whatever, essentially the person who did the trading gets ****ed out of that value - and possibly wouldn't have even traded them in the first place. Rosters and FA status were frozen, yes, but as far as I can see, salaries were not. And that's what's changing.

It's been like this since I can remember (before I ran it at Finheaven). If it was one of your own players who did the restructure, you wouldn't be complaining... It's not like this is going to benefit me... my big salary guy is in his contract year.
You all can STFU and deal with it as far as I'm concerned.Stringer Bell and Boik14 like this. -
The downside is that in the real NFL Pitt has probably freed up enough money now to sign Soliai from Miami as their new NT. by my count this is over 9M in cap they've freed up. -

I understand the dislike for the rule by some... but let's be honest here... if this benefited the people complaining TODAY, they would not be saying anything.Big E likes this. -
