PITTA’S RESTRUCTURE
The terms of TE Dennis Pitta’s contract restructure are finally in. Pitta took a straight pay cut for both 2017 and 2018. Unlike his restructure last offseason, this new deal contains no incentives that would allow Pitta to earn back any of the money that he’s giving up.
The deal also includes an injury waiver (as did last year’s restructure), which protects the Ravens in case Pitta is injured again. It is unknown whether this injury waiver covers all injuries or just covers a reoccurrence of the hip injury (more likely).
