He didn't restructure the year he left. I think that is what we were talking about? He wanted to do it certain way to guarantee certain players got guaranteed contracts, or they wouldn't get cut, or something along those lines. And they wouldn't do both, so he chose to leave. At least that is the way it was explained....?
