Quote:There's nothing to back up a cut.  They could have restructured the way his contract is paid out this year and not change a dime in compensation.  Players under contract don't agree to pay cuts in most instances. 

I agree that it would be nice to have details. I'm not an expert on how all things contracts work, but I assume they found a way to continue paying him roughly the same amount, while reducing the cap hit. I don't know if that is done by turning more money into signing bonuses or what it entails. Pay cut may not be the most accurate statement. Reduced cap hit is probably better. He will probably make the same, but count less against the cap.
