IMO, the front office has made unbelievable strides in the management of this football team.

If they don't restructure his deal, it will be major alarm bells for me.

Restructuring isn't the same thing as a pay cut. Restructuring pushes cap hits into later years, which means you're either committing to Mixon for more years, or you're getting ready for some dead cap space from him later. Neither is a good plan for an overpaid RB that is underperforming.
