I posted this in another post, but I will go ahead and say it here as this is Deuce specific thread
Deuce has been approached (or I should say his agent though I am sure Deuce was involved) about restructuring his contract. The coaching staff (as well as the training staff) doesn't think he will come back fully from another knee injury. They feel he is best suited for around 10-15 carries a game but don't feel like he can return to franchise back form. I am sure there will be games where he may get more or less carries depending on how he is performing, however this is the general consensus from what I have been told.
I don't know the extent of the conversations, only that there has been some dialog. And this part is ONLY my opinion, but I really think Deuce will be receptive to restructuring and taking a reduced role in the offense. My understanding also is that a good portion of his salary will be converted into incentives (making it possible for him to earn more but definitly making it rely on his production), assuming he agrees.
Like I said, how involved the talks were I really don't know. I know there have been recent discussion (after the end of the season). Will something happen? I can't say, but personally I think the type of person Deuce is he will help the team out but still insist on incentives to allow him to make most of his money back depending on his overall performance.
