Generally, it is done by converting salary into a signing bonus, and a signing bonus is prorated over the length of the contract. Burrow would not lose by restructuring. The Family, however, would need to convert some of the salary into a signing bonus.
If you heard nothing else from Burrow, it is probably because he needs The Family to make the first move. Burrow let them know that he would be willing to do the restructuring to help with the cap.
I guess that would go back to the question of do they have the $ to pay out that large amount all at once? If they do would they even want to do this. I understand it from a team/cap perspective but this doesn’t seem like something they do.
