The convertible roster bonus is one of those really useful tools the Skins use in manipulating contracts to move cap hits around (e.g. if we have good cap numbers next year, then they probably won't convert Rocky's roster bonus. If a little tight, then they convert it).

i.e., sounds like he' unlikely to be here after 2 years, at least under this deal. Like you said, a 2 yr. deal. I can't see him making that 3rd year salary.
