Warner pledge for pay cut is just talk

Kurt Warner continues to say that he would be willing to take a $1 million paycut if it goes toward redoing Anquan Boldin's contract.  It's a nice gesture, and I don't doubt Warner means it with all his heart, but it's also a meaningless statement. 

Warner isn't contractually allowed to take such a paycut at this juncture.  Warner's agent knows it, the Cardinals know it, and the NFLPA knows it.

USA Today's Jim Corbett points out that Warner did not put a clause in his contract about Boldin.  And NFL contracts are not allowed to be re-structured for at least one year after they are signed. That means Warner wouldn't be allowed to help Boldin out, unless he wants to bring suitcases full of cash to the team offices.

The league's player union would also likely have a huge problem with a player taking a pay cut a specific teammate, if the issue ever got that far.  It won't.
