All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Well, I won't be visiitng that site any time soon. I hate people who can't take criticism, heck you didn't even do that, you asked a good question and the guy basically told you to go take a dump in your hat. Very unprofessional.
That is pretty classless of them...A competent site would of found the source in the CBA and quoted it...It was my understanding that you can't restructure any deal within 12 months of it being signed...I am not doubting them completely but to make attacks is very unprofessional..Maybe he asked TO's agent. He seems up on things
I won't ever give a steamy crap about visiting their classless site.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
Clump, though I agree their responses were rude, I think they may be correct in that the contract can be restructured.
There are prohibitions on restricted tenders that are matched. For instance, the player nor club can exercise an option in the matched deal until after the trading deadline that year. Also, the contract can not be renegotiated to reduce the salary until after the trading deadline.
However, a restructure of a contract is not a renegotiation. The principle terms are not changed, nor the length of the deal. The only difference is a roster bonus is converted to signing bonus, which has a cap effect but the actual salary doesn't change. In the Jets case with Morton, which you pointed out, they were denied by the league because they wanted to change the principle terms of the offer.
Basically, once the offer becomes a contract (with either team), it is like any other contract. A player contract can be restructured immediately after being signed, however once it is restructured it cannot be restructured again for a full year.

I understand what you posted, but does it not circumvent the intention of the offer sheet? The Bears sign Tait to an offer sheet for whatever provisions and KC should be required to honor those provisions for at least the 1st year......why else do you hear that "the team must construct a contract to prevent matching". It's usually a cap hit issue as opposed to a dollar issue. What's the incentive for a team to sign a "tagged" player when the original team can match and then make the deal cap friendly for them?
