If he restructures he's going to want top money which means a big bonus. Tony isn't going to want to sign a 2 or 3 year deal. I don't think he is going to want to be in a Ty Law situation where every year you are looking for another deal in another city.
Tony was, and still is, a great TE. But, do you want to tie up so much money in the TE position on the downside of a players career? It's a tough question. If you could get a first round pick for him I think I'd make a trade.

The best option, IMO, is to get Tony a new contract.
Give him his bonus on a 5 year contract, and after the 3rd year, when he is really approaching the downside of his career, and the cap hit isn't as devastating, work a trade for him
