Does anyone feel as if the Redskins Organization is dismantling Joe Gibb's work?

They'd have to want out REAL bad to not restructure.

I agree that players benefit from restructuring, but let's use Portis as an example. I believe he is due somewhere around $5M in salary alone. If we convert that to a signing bonus, he has a guaranteed $5M in hand. I would argue that if he forced the Skins to cut him, he would certainly land more than $5M in SB as a free agent. He greatly helped his case by gaining 500+ yards from scrimmage over the final 4 games of the regular season. I'm not saying that he leaves, but Portis is an example of a top producer still young enough to demand a greater signing bonus in free agency than he could by restructuring.
