Restructuring: Smith, Vilma & Harper

They can potentially save a bundle on Smith and Vilma. If Harper were released outright, it would save only $1 million in cap, so I have always known they would restructure with him because they can save more in cap that way and have a backup capable of rushing the passer, a role he excelled in with GW in 2011.

And it's not what they are paid per year on the contract that matters--unless Loomis loses his mind and gives them fully guaranteed contracts. What matters is what they will cost on the cap. They could have base salaries of $15 million a year after this year; that doesn't mean they will make that.
