Don McPeak / USA TODAY Sports

Atlanta Falcons guard Andy Levitre restructured his contract as part of the deal that saw him swapped from the Tennessee Titans for two conditional draft picks, ESPN's Field Yates reports.

Levitre reportedly agreed to cut the total money remaining on his deal from $27.3 million to $23.25 million. He also removed all guarantees beyond 2015.

Levitre's base salary drops from $6.5 million to $1.5 million this season, with the Falcons making up the difference with a $5.5-million signing bonus. This reduces Levitre's 2015 cap hit to $2.875 million.

The Oregon State product is expected to slot in as the Falcons' starting left guard.
