Saints at the top of Davante Adams’ wish list [Raiders trade Adams to Jets for conditional 3rd ; Jets paying Adams’ entire remaining salary]

Restructuring bonuses are rarely an immediate check. They are usually deferred and paid in installments, as are signing bonuses. The Raiders may still not be able to afford it, but I think it’s a misconception that players are pocketing a check for the full amount right when their contract gets restructured.

Except for when contracts are traded or terminated. Those bonuses come due right away.

Now if you're talking that WE would be restructuring it and taking the cap hit later then you would be correct. But that would make an already terrible cap situation in 2025 even worse. Remember, we are going to be dealing with Cam, Ramczyk, Lattimore, AK, and others. I don't think it's worth it.
