OK, just a hypothetical, what do people feel the ceiling salary wise per annum Adelaide should be prepared to go to secure both Lever and McGovern's signature on say a 3 year contract....keeping in mind we may be making a play for a proven mid like Bryce Gibbs or up and coming young mid like Jacob Hopper at year's end.

Mine would be 450 - 500K for McGovern and 650 - 750K for Lever.
I'd go to 550K for the Gov, 750K for Lever sounds about right.

If Tex needed to restructure his deal to help us re-sign others - what does that say about our so called war chest
It could be that he restructured his contract so that Lever and Gov could be re-signed and still leave the 'war chest' there to target a midfielder. If we don't get that midfielder then Tex gets his money back. However, as you are implying, it is likely that there is no war chest.

It may say that it is one part of an overall strategy which includes having enough cap set aside to bring in another midfielder

Don has gone on record to say that we are in the market for a mid

500-550 for Gov, he makes us a way better team

we still have gibbs (and lyons) cash left over. that should be enough for a mid, without even mentioning the CBA.

this re-structure is probably a good thing, but it also makes it clear that we are tighter cap wise than some claimed

Not at all. It just means Tex is doing the right thing. 1.5 mill could be set aside for Gibbs +++

Creating one ??

We wouldn't take a paycut purely to keep those 2. There's something else on the go.

Why would Tex need to take a pay cut when we have over 2 mill in cap space with the CBA.
Why else would he take a pay cut unless it was to retain and recruit players?

Maybe we are throwing some monster offers out there, plus paying Lever and Gov more than we originally intended.
