00:00So the Devin Singletary restructure is essentially a pay cut.
00:04We don't know the nature of the cut, but his cap hit was $6.9 million.
00:14And so by taking a pay cut, this isn't like extending, spreading it out,
00:18giving him a signing bonus, and extending his deal.
00:20This was a straight pay cut.
00:22The reason he's valuable is because if you don't replace him
00:25or fill the running back room with someone who is a very effective short yardage running runner,
00:32because that's what he was.
00:33That's mostly what he was used for.
00:34Think about it.
00:34It was always on the goal line.
00:35It was Devin Singletary.
00:37He is an above-average pass blocker.
00:40So on third-down situations, you can rely on him to protect your quarterback,
00:44whereas Tyrone Tracy was okay, but not really.
00:49And Cam Scadaboo, to be fair, and he's a rookie, and this is what it is,
00:53he sucked pass blocking last year.
00:56And so you can't go into an offseason not having a running back who can do those two things.
01:03So you re-sign him, it doesn't mean, or restructure him,
01:07it doesn't mean he's not also going to get cut.
01:09So I know it sounds like, oh, he kept Devin Singletary by re-struck,
01:14but he's still not safe for the season.
01:18If they're genuinely interested in Kenneth Walker or even drafting Jeremiah Love,
01:22they're not new to the idea that they could have restructured Devin Singletary.
01:25Right.
01:26And by the way, that doesn't change.
01:28Remember what we talked about yesterday, the percentage of the cap hit?
01:31Yeah, it's very low.
01:31With Devin Singletary, it was like four-point-something percent of the cap.
01:35Now it's even less than that.
01:36Right.
01:36So even with those three running backs on the team,
01:39actually there's five running backs on the team,
01:41they still can add and not be at this ridiculous percentage of cap number
01:47for your running back room.
