Lions restructure two contracts
Detroit Lions wide receiver Nate Burleson says he restructured his contract to help the team keep some key players.
Burleson said Monday that he agreed to have his $4 million base salary for this year converted into a $3.125 signing bonus. Quarterback Matthew Stafford also restructured his contract, which carried a 2012 cap hit of over $17 million. The team announced on its official website that Stafford also converted the majority of his $11.5 million base salary to bonus. ![[Image: 404883_309243369121404_100001072297042_8...2649_n.jpg]](http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/s320x320/404883_309243369121404_100001072297042_859381_1764602649_n.jpg)

RE: Lions restructure two contracts
What is with all this restructuring lately? Are these teams running out of money like crazy or something?

RE: Lions restructure two contracts
Its because the cap is much harder to get under after the new CBA. Plus a lot of teams got hurt during the uncaped year in 2010.
