"Dallas is reducing Kenny Clark's 2026 cap number with a restructure, per ESPN.com's Todd Archer. As Connor Byrne's Cowboys Offseason Outlook detailed, Clark was due an $11MM roster bonus Friday; Dallas is moving that into a signing bonus to open up $8.8MM in cap space. This will drop Clark's cap number well south of its $21.5MM place, though it would create more dead money if he is not extended by the 2027 league year."
"The Packers are busy at work with cost-shedding moves. They also completed an Xavier McKinney restructure, per KPRC2's Aaron Wilson. The move will save more than $9MM in space for Green Bay. McKinney will also secure an additional $11.54MM guaranteed - on top of his $23MM guarantee from March 2024 - according to Wilson, who adds the Pack included three void years to defray the bonus money."
"Denver is restructuring Quinn Meinerz's deal, according to the Denver Gazette's Chris Tomasson, who notes this is a simple restructure of the All-Pro guard's 2026 base salary. Moving it to a signing bonus, the Broncos will free up around $11MM. The Broncos sit mid-pack in cap space, holding more than $23MM."
Multiple NFL teams restructured player contracts ahead of the cap-compliance deadline to manage salary cap space. The Cowboys reduced Kenny Clark's 2026 cap hit by converting his $11MM roster bonus into a signing bonus, freeing $8.8MM in cap space. The Packers restructured Xavier McKinney's deal, saving over $9MM while guaranteeing him an additional $11.54MM through void years. The Broncos restructured Quinn Meinerz's contract by converting his 2026 base salary to a signing bonus, creating approximately $11MM in cap space. These moves allow teams to maintain roster flexibility while addressing immediate financial constraints.
