I feel the same about cutting Sorenson. Cutting him to gain 2.6 million in cap space so that we have to turn about and spend that or more on the same position is just stupid. Ride it out. Hell we need bodies (depth) at the position anyway.
Honestly finding a way to get something in return for Ford would be HUGE, not only would be gain picks (2nd rounder at a minimum) but not having to tie up 15 million allows us to go get someone in free agency.

Restructuring makes sense if it's an extension. And if we want him to retire as a chief. Two things we may be less certain about now that we're changing schemes. If you're ok with paying him that big money now then why not just use that money to frontload his next contract. Or if you don't want the cap hit then change the $17m to bonus. Depends on if we want to frontload or backload.
