Then we're going to have to carry about 15 rookies on our roster like the Ravens did 2 years removed from the their Super Bowl win.
Also one more question:
Is the reason deals can't be restructured is because its not legal or it would be stupid for the players to do it?

its legal to restructure, but without a cba the bonuses can't be pro-rated like normal and you have to obey the 30% rule (which means converting 2 years from base salary to bonus instead of one... and with limited pro-ration you end up paying a lot of the money you were trying to move down the road immediately anyways).
the skins only have 3 people with base salaries in the 3.5-4mill range right now (jansen, brunell, and thomas), so there's just not much money to move. (the next highest base salary is 1.5mill which is nearly nothing above vet min).
