As for why now and not in May?   Because they have a lot to do in May, including signing about 20 rookies and street free agents.   And why not now?  It has to be done.  Get it over with.
You don't see the connection? They didn't see the need to restructure until after they released Hurns and Lewis. It's been three days since they paid it. I doubt the FO lacked the foresight to have just suddenly come up with the idea if there wasn't more to it than pushing money forward. That's a very odd and direct connection.

You may be right. If the Jags go out and sign Suh then it would prove your point. But let me propose an alternate explanation.

Most of the time before free agency must have been spent negotiating with Robinson, Lee, and Colvin, and preparing for free agency itself. Then there was the week of negotiating free agent contracts. The past week was probably spent trying to convince Lewis and Hurns to take pay cuts, and that was only a consideration after the Jags signed free agent replacements. And had the Jags struck out in free agency they might not have needed to restructure Telvin. Maybe this just happened to be the first time available  to take care of three less-pressing matters.
