Jason McCourty agrees to a restructured deal to remain with the Patriots Amid the flurry of Tuesday morning¡¯s roster activity was the news that Cheap Jonathan Jones Jersey , according to ESPN¡¯s Mike Reiss, the Patriots and Jason McCourty reached an agreement to restructure the defensive back¡¯s 2018 contract prior to Sunday¡¯s victory in Foxborough.Here¡¯s how Jason McCourty¡¯s deal now breaks down on the team¡¯s salary cap sheet:2018 salary: $1,600,0002018 roster bonus: $375,000 (already paid)Per-game bonuses: $350,000 ($400,000 ¡°LTBE¡± for 14 games)¡°LTBE¡± Incentives: $1,000,000Offseason workout bonus: $7,095Total 2018 cap figure: $3,332 Cheap Devin McCourty Jersey ,095Because McCourty played in 84.18% of the Browns¡¯ defensive snaps a year ago, the $1,000,000 playing time incentives will be considered likely to be earned (LTBE), increasing his 2018 cap figure by $356,250. In turn, the restructure will cost the Patriots that amount in 2018 cap space ¡ª a figure that could increase by $50,000 if he is active for all 16 regular season games this year.Why would the team agree to a restructure that would cost them cap space ¡ª particularly with a player who was perceived to be on the roster bubble coming out of camp? It¡¯s simple, really. The team clearly sees the value in having McCourty provide depth at multiple positions in the secondary, while also contributing on special teams. However, his contract just wasn¡¯t commensurate with that type of role. In reality Ryan Allen Jersey , the agreement is a player pay cut of which the salary cap benefits for the organization are deferred. Barring an epidemic of injuries to the team¡¯s secondary, McCourty will not come close to earning much, if not all, of the playing time incentives ¡ª as evidence by his 6 defensive snaps played against the Texans. Any unearned incentive cash, as well as any unpaid per-game bonus money, will be credited to the team¡¯s 2019 adjusted cap figure.McCourty ¡ª an NFL veteran playing in his 10th season ¡ª is clearly happy with an opportunity for a spot on a roster where he can chase a Super Bowl victory alongside his twin brother. Were he not to agree to the pay cut, he likely would have been released, leaving him with the improbability of receiving comparable compensation on the open market for his services.Coupled with the signings of wide receivers Corey Coleman and Bennie Fowler on Tuesday, the Patriots¡¯ 2018 cap space figure currently sits around $4.8 million.Follow Brian Phillips on Twitter @BPhillips_SB During Sunday¡¯s loss to the Steelers, New England receiver Josh Gordon didn¡¯t do much, catching only one pass for 19 yards. More surprisingly Cheap Cordarrelle Patterson Jersey , Gordon wasn¡¯t on the field for the final play from scrimmage for a Patriots team trailing by seven.It was fourth and 15 from the Steelers 21, a snap that came after Pittsburgh called a timeout. But there was no Gordon among the targets available to Tom Brady.¡°We had just kind of run quite a few plays in a row,¡± offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said Tuesday when asked about the situation by reporters. ¡°I know there was a timeout there before that. Both of those guys have worked at that spot and in that type of a situation, and based on what we were doing, we made the choice to go with [Cordarrelle Patterson] at that point ¡ª no ulterior motive on that at all. Just put a fresh guy in to go in there and do something on the last play to see if we could get into the end zone, and it is what it is.¡±It was what it was, a failed effort to tie the game, and an outcome that has many wondering whether the Patriots have lost their mojo. From the collapse of situational football against the Dolphins to the undisciplined play against the Steelers (14 penalties is a staggering amount of flags for a Bill Belichick team) to increasing questions about Father Time making his final kick toward Tom Brady, the Patriots are now guaranteed to have fewer than 12 wins for the first time since 2009, and they¡¯re in danger of not having a bye for the first time since that same season.
