2020-Chris Jones and Pat Mahomes low cap hit

2022-Schwartz and Fisher are FA’s. Hitchens can be cut
We got $10 million this year from Fisher and Hitchens restructuring salary to signing bonuses. They could do that with Frank Clark one year to free up space too.
Starting to believe we can keep Chris.

We got $10 million in cap relief in the short term, but still have to pay that money in future years. Restructuring just kicks the can down the road to provide immediate relief. It's a band-aid. It does not wipe away the risks an extremely top-heavy roster carries with it.
