restructures always turn non guaranteed base salary into guaranteed bonus money.

Who in their right mind turns down guaranteed money? It also makes him less likely to to be immediately traded as more guaranteed money means more dead cap space if cut or traded.

It's just semantics. Cowherd means that (in his theory) the Rams asked for him to take less.

The Rams I would think would not throw a franchise qb under the bus in public if it only involved moving money around in a traditional restructure. The idiots in that case would be the Rams.

They might do all that if they asked him to take less.

That was one of the reasons the Rams traded Bradford. He would not re-do the contract to take less.
