Retain the good ones, cut or restructure the aging ones on decline, or ones that did not make the grade in the first place in order to free up money to keep our own or sign a solid FA.
Then when they are happy that it is finally getting done, they want to rip them about that as well
Scold when you are unhappy with team and scold you when you are happy with the team.
Oh well, to each their own.
Great post. Was thinking the same.

I am not ripping the people who asked for this.
I am ripping the people who guaranteed this would never happen. You know, the ones who call themselves "realists".
Who all "guaranteed" this would never happen? I've seen a LOT of complaining about it. I don't recall anyone saying "I guarantee the Bengals will never make players restructure". Not saying it's never been said by ANYONE, but certainly not a big group of posters like you're implying. Heck, this has happened before. I believe they asked Willie to take a pay cut during the 2008 preseason, then cut him when he balked. It just doesn't happen nearly enough.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
