The article I read didn't discuss the rationale for the restructure and I wondered about that since we are sitting on a pile of cash. The only thing I would surmise is going back to that timeline (Dec/Jan) we had several other oline prospects / planned adds and perhaps he had a fixed $$ / % of budget he was willing to put into the line but wanted as many shots on goal as he could get knowing some would wash out.......can't really think why else he'd do it.....you're right, there is plenty of money....

I'm guessing this is the article you're referring to:

https://coltswire.usatoday.com/2018/...nski-pay-cuts/

It sounds like the pay cuts were during the final cut down phase, and probably the result of negotiations over whether they'd make the team. Glowinski is earning $1.2 million, and Good $700k after the cuts. Plus, the article says they can earn back the difference in incentives. Glowinski probably will reach his given that he's been thrust into a starting role relatively early in the season.

Incidentally, I didn't realize Glowinski was a former Seahawks 4th rounder, and started a fair number of games for them. Here's some more background about him:

https://www.colts.com/news/colts-mar...at-right-guard

This is his fourth season, so if he plays well he can hit the open market and make more money next year (of course he hit the open market after he was cut by Seattle last December, and that's how the Colts got him).

Yes! That's the article. Thanks for doing my homework. . I know it's bad form to reference something and not share the link. I owe you one.

Gotta add that in this alternative universe since dick heads like Collingsworthless always tack that onto Brady's list of "accomplishments" when they are slobbering all over him.
Don't even get me started. Collinsworth actually tries to bring up Brady (multiple times) in games that he's not even playing in.

I don't remember seeing anything on this back in January but I like the approach....pay for performance. Maybe next season he was do the same with the receivers and get some of those drops dealt with.
Smoke and mirrors.

They both did indeed have base salary reduced, i.e. a "pay cut," but then that exact same amount of money was moved to "Likely to be Earned" incentives which basically means that if they stay on the roster, they will get paid.

I had not actually known about the contract changes until you mentioned it and I looked them up today because the reported contract numbers never changed. Teams have to included "Likely To Be Earned" incentive numbers in their contract numbers for salary cap purposes but do not have to include "Unlikely To Be Earned" incentive numbers.

My guess is that Ballard was unsure if either of them would stick on the roster over the course of the season and was looking for a way to recoup some money if they did not.

I agree that this seems unncessary but based on how Glowinski is playing, there is zero chance of him not being on the squad at the end of the season (unless he is on IR).

Good? That boy needs to get healthy and on the field.

Good find but, ultimatly, if both men play the season, they will probably get paid about the same as they would have.

Glowinski? He keep playing this way, he will be earning a veteran's starter contract at the end of the season.

Walk Worthy,
