Injured Texans offensive tackle Derek Newton has restructured his contract, reducing his base salaries in each of the next three seasons.
Placed on the reserve-physically unable to perform list due to torn patellar tendons suffered last season that will sideline him for the entire year, Newton was originally due $4.75 million in base salaries for 2018, 2018 and 2019.
Newton is now due a guaranteed $1.75 million base salary this year and nonguaranteed base salaries of $2.25 million and $2 million in 2018 and 2019.
It's now a three-year, $10 million deal in the renegotiation of his original five-year, $26.
