Why all the restructuring?

It could be for a bunch of different reasons.  I know that the Lions old GM (Bob Quinn) liked to free up cap space...just in case he needed it.  His logic is that you can free up $5M with a player, but then if you don't need it you can just let the cap space roll over and help pay for the money you just pushed into the following year.  So in a way it is a "no harm, no foul" in his eyes.  Its like taking $200 out of the bank in cash, then putting it back if you don't use it.

It worked out so well for them didn't it?

Yall gonna be feeling real stupid when we win the Super Bowl with Jimeis Garoppocousins.

as soon as we hire coach Superbowl McChampionship 

Side note to the original post - they're just making cap space because of bad decisions last year. IE Sam Darnold's 5th year option, Anderson's contract extension, restructuring Matt Paradis last season adding $8m in dead money this season.

not too put gas on the fire, but it did help the lions afford the stafford/goff trade and get extra picks in return. He may have never put talent on that roster, but he did save them a lot of money. He was basically the Geico of the NFL.

Said it before, will say again, when you have to restructure someone who just signed a contract LAST YEAR you've not doing it right.  This is a desperate staff trying to save themselves instead of a forward thinking staff who in their first couple years took the right hits to put themselves in a position for success moving forward.
