You aren't allowed to do this in the US. Lot of regulations on your RSUs and when you can sell etc. including derivatives on your vested and unvested stock.

We are talking about a scenario in which you get cash not RSU.

Also I'm not familiar with the US case, but I understand those limitations are contractual not regulatory and thus have no bearing in what's would be optimal for the employee.
