I love butter & Kyle Long needs to move out of the way for a younger more effective Guard.

Are you talking about Eddie Jackson?
I love it when CCS people lecture others and get all snarky about something of which there is zero data.
This is pathetic.

Didn't Whitehair only really play G as a Rookie for a short time?

What year was this? Whitehair has played center since his rookie year as he was at guard for all of camp but then moved to Center when we signed Josh Sitton. I also don't recall him ever making the Pro Bowl beyond being an alternate this year. So what exactly are you talking about?

Yeah, people don't really get what "restructuring" entails. It's not a pay cut lol. It usually means converting current cap hits into further cap years.

In Long's case it would require a significant pay cut. He's due about $18m over the next two years - but only $3m is guaranteed and he's already received that as a signing bonus. They aren't going to spread that $18 over more than 2 years because there's almost no chance that Long will be here past 2020 (and arguable past '19 when his guaranteed $ is gone).
What the Bears would be banking on is that there wouldn't be much of a market for Long and that he'd accept something like $8m/2 years $4gtd rather than test the waters.

He's just going to be cut. I'm not sure why this is a difficult concept to comprehend.

So, 3 centers in the middle? Cody has a small ass for G. It's one reason I speculated Center the day he was drafted. Talented guy without optimum length for T or the base for G. He's right where he belongs.
To the OP. Long stays and has the best season in a while. An offseason where he can actually work out will help a lot.

Love it! Would Long accept $8mil/2yrs, 4 gtd? Bears on the hook for 1 more mil gtd over the $3m we still pay if we cut him now.
I don't think he'd take it, seeing $4mil/yr too low (but he's only playing 8 games these days).
Alternatively, would he take $6mil/1yr (3gtd)? Compared to cutting him, it'd be like paying $3mil for 2019.
Long Games:
2016 = 8
2017 = 10 (9 GS)
2018 = 8
