in the case of Jackson they probably said, restructure and get most of this money or we cut you and you lose all of it. And his agent probably knew he wasn't going to see that as a FA last season, so it benefited him.

As I understand it, restructuring base salary into roster bonus doesn't affect the player at all. In fact, it's actually better. Instead of getting "game checks," that money comes in one lump sum.
It's better for the player.
