Personally I wouldn’t fault any player for not restructuring a deal. The reality in the CFL is that you face the risk of being cut if you don’t. I don’t like that aspect of the league to be honest. Seems hypocritical to me. Teams can come up with BS injuries to 6 game players and fully pay them, but not honour contracts presumably signed in good faith.
I expected Gittens to be moved or cut. Doesn’t mean I like it. But at least the Argos made a really good deal in trading him.
