The Green Bay Packers freed more space at the limit by restructuring the contract of offensive lineman Billy Turner, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL network.
Restructuring is a salary conversion, for Pelissero, which means packers are converting a base salary or list bonus into a signature bonus, allowing the team to prorate the money for the duration of the deal and save money on the edge this season.
Like Adrian Amos, Turner’s four-year deal has two years left. The Packers turned Amos ’$ 1.5 million bonus this year into a signing bonus, creating $ 750,000 of maximum space in 2021 and adding $ 750,000 to the limit in 2022. Something similar was probably done. to Turner’s agreement.
Turner has a base salary of $ 4,525,000 and a $ 1,000,000 bonus this year. The Packers could create $ 500,000 in capitalization savings by 2021 by turning their list bonus into a signing bonus.
A versatile member of the offensive line, Turner has played left, right and right offense for the past two seasons at Green Bay.
Turner’s restructuring is the latest in a long list of moves executed by the Packers to reach the 2021 salary cap. The team released Christian Kirksey and Rick Wagner and restructured the bids of Amos, David Bakhtiari and Preston Smith .
Depending on the type of restructuring, it is possible that Turner’s bid work will get the Packers below the limit.
The Packers have yet to do anything with the contracts of Aaron Rodgers, Za’Darius Smith or Davante Adams. And Dean Lowry is a bearish candidate.
