Last evening, we learned that WR Tavon Austin had agreed to a restructuring of his contract with the Los Angeles Rams that eliminated the final three years of the deal from 2019-21 in which he was scheduled to make $28,133,777. Now, he will receive his $5m that he was scheduled to get nonetheless, but his unguaranteed $3m salary he was scheduled to receive for 2018 will be converted into incentive-based bonuses.
All of which begs the question...why the hell did Tavon agree to this?
This isn’t too surprising. This was the idea the Rams had about Austin going into the offseason.
