Report: Eagles restructure contracts of Derek Barnett, Lane Johnson - PFT
The Philadelphia Eagles have restructured the contracts of defensive end Derek Barnett and tackle Lane Johnson, according to Tim McManus of ESPN.com. [...] McManus notes that while the restructures free up cap space for this year, they are believed to be just for general cap management reasons and not to accomplish a current goal such as a player acquisition or new contract for an existing player.
The Eagles converted $8.49M of Lane Johnson's base salary and $9.061M of Derek Barnett's base salary into signing bonuses, while adding 4 voidable years onto Barnett's deal, per source.
