AD would be my first choice. Maybe he would be ok with it since they let him basically have off the last 6(?) games of the season last year?
I can't imagine why any player wouldn't jump at the chance to restructure as I have laid it out.
Take AD as an example:
Donald has a $15M roster bonus and he will get that really early in the 2023 league year: a restructure won't have much effect on when he gets that money. But his salary is another story.
As it stands his $13.5M salary will be paid out in 18 installments over the course of the season - $750,000 a week thruout the 18 week season.
But if he converts $12M of that salary to a signing bonus he gets that $12M when the restructured contract is signed (in March?) and then the remaining $1.5M would get paid during the season, basically $83,333 a week.
The restructure would essentially be a $12M advance on his salary with no downside that I can see. What's not to like?
