Agreed. I'd hope that what might happen is a restructuring in which the Packers negotiate less than the $7M he is set to earn. He's worried about being dumped because he costs too much. So, negotiate less money. You don't get cut = good for Donald. team saves some money = good for the Packers.

I doubt he's taking less money....
My guess is the Packers are front loading his contract to use up this years cap room and free up next year cap.

as has already been stated, next year is set to be uncapped, so I doubt this is what is happening. We'll see what happens. I feel comfortable in my prediction. He doesn't want to get cut next year because of being overly expensive. One way to do that is to take a pay cut. Most players are loathe to do this, but we all know that many contracts are set up with the final years being nothing but fluffed up numbers, meaning that a 6 year contract with huge money paid out in the final two years is in all actuality a 4 year contract. I think he saw what happened to Marvin Harrison this year and doesn't want that to happen to him next year.
