Since Manning signed his new contract within this league year I'm pretty sure he has to wait until the league year is over before a new contract can be signed. But that might be a fine distinction between renegotiate and restructure
But if that is the case, then what are they going to do? Pay him the $28M bonus and then restructure? That wouldn't make sense. They'd be more likely to release him and then enter the fray with everyone else in trying to sign him

I think you are correct, the Colts cannot restructure the contract, they either have to pay him the 28 mil and restructure or release him.
