King Dunlap was scheduled to have his $4.5 million salary become fully guaranteed if on the Chargers' roster last Friday.
That was before his deal was restructured.
His contract was reworked last Wednesday, the data now visibly processed, to show a salary decrease for 2016, sources said Monday morning. His salary dropped from $4.5 to $3.3 million fully guaranteed following a 2015 campaign in which Dunlap finished two of the seven games he started. A concussion cost him three weeks, and a high-ankle sprain kept him inactive six of the final eight.
Dunlap, 30, can recoup that $1.
