Quote: Campbell acknowledged talks have begun with the team about reducing his $14.5 million camp number for 2019.

“I think it’s more with restructuring with an extension,” Campbell said, via John Reid of jacksonville.com. “That’s the only way to do it, and that’s something that was talked about that could possibly happen.”
Campbell signed a four-year, $60 million deal with the Jaguars in 2017. He has had 25 sacks in the two seasons since.
“At the end of the day, it’s a beautiful game,” Campbell said. “I love it, and I get paid a whole lot of money to do it, which is even better. As far as restructuring and moving money around, yes sure, that’s part of the game.”

Expect to hear more stories like this in the coming weeks. Cap relief is incoming.

Restructuring isn't really cap relief overall. Sure it reduces his number this year helping us get under, but all that savings is pushed into future caps. Restructuring contracts is why we had to gut the roster in the years before Coughlin was fired. The players love restructuring because all that money put on future caps is paid to him with a big, up-front check virtually guaranteeing the player is glued to the roster for several more years even if he regresses.
