I think you should restructure.
"There is a greater purpose...that purpose is team. Winning, losing, playing hard, playing well, doing it for each other, winning the right way, winning the right way is a very important thing to me... Championships are won by teams who love one another, who respect one another, and play for and support one another."
~ Coach Tom Coughlin

Nacho is definitely a candidate to be a cap casualty.  Would save $3.6MM with a $1.4MM hit.

Gano would save $3.165MM with $2.5MM in dead money.

Eleumanor can be restructured.  Has $6.44MM in non-guaranteed money. 

Cordell Flott, Daniel Bellinger are also cap casualty candidates.

I think you can restructure Lawrence or AT and get 20 million, both get you 30 million I think.

Yeah, but that could be seen as robbing Peter to pay Paul.  Just pushing more $ to future hits.

That's all these new teams do because they know the cap is going up. It's only dangerous if the player isn't a proven commodity, we can restructure them now and then sign them to new deals in 2 years and make it a wash.

Cutting Nacho is +3.6, Ezueudu +1.5, Singletary +1.5

Restructures save 20-25 million. They have ways to make plenty of space.

you need 10 for the class and another 10 to run with during the season.
