CC...Campbell doesn't qualify for the vet subsidy because he has a multi-year contract. Also I believe they don't have 5 option bonuses but one option bonus in 07 that triggers the final year of the contract and is prorated over the next 5 years. I don't know what kinds of options 5 option bonuses would trigger.

BTW...Future guaranteed money must be placed in escrow when a contract is signed to discourage teams from guaranteeing future salary. As for cash over cap because the Skins have about 15M in dead money and perhaps 30M in prorations for players still on the roster that reflect money paid in previous years Snyder would have to write over 48M of signing bonuses to go over the limit of cap+2%. That would only be the case this year if future guaranteed money is charged when it's placed in escrow instead of when it's actually paid to the player.
