Structure it so that we can cut him by the time his wheels start to fall off. He's a WR who lives and dies by his speed and quickness. Backload the deal to years 2016 and beyond and it won't be much of a problem because we should be able to cut him without taking a huge cap hit once he hits 30+ where most small speed WRs really start to drop off.

Normally dead money means that a team is counting money against the cap that has already been paid to player that has since left the team. Which means that Jackson already has that money and won't be getting paid more from Philly. Unless you mean something else by 'dead money', you're mistaken.

When does he get it, then? I always figured if "dead money" was allocated to a particular year, than that's the year he receives it. |

example player A signs contract for 5 years, with a signing bonus of 20 million. That mean he receives 20 million dollars all at once, when the contract is signed. But that 20 million doesn't hit the teams cap all at once, it is prorated over the length of the 5 yr contract. 4 million each year x 5 = 20 million. say the player gets cut after year 4 of the contract Now the team still has 4 million leftover in 'dead money' against it's cap for the 5th year of that contract, even though the player is gone. Dead money is just a term used to talk about salary cap impact

Jackson to here would be such a monumentally positive move (assuming he doesn't end up being Aaron Hernandez 2.0...) that the cynical side of me says there's no way it could ever happen.

Players love 'dead money' because it's really double-dipping, they are getting paid by 2 teams for the same season. Some players seem to do it on purpose.
Player A gets a new contract ... insists on big signing bonus Player A then starts being such a complete prick that team doesn't want him anymore. He still performs on the field to keep his market value up but causes such problems behind the scenes that he gets cut Player A then moves on to another team, with another signing bonus, gets paid again 10 million signing bonus from the 1st team even though he never finish the contract 10 million signing bonus from the 2nd team Terrell Owens did such a masterful job of it that the league started writing stuff into the contracts to try and stop it. The last CBA even has a clause in it about double dipping iirc.

So in other words, our only option at this point is to restructure contracts?

Since he seems to want a new contact every other year i imagine he is going to want a brand new contract compared to a top 10 wr. He won't give 2 shits that he bailed on philly with signing bonus money. It's why i don't trust him seems like a real weasel to me
