I saw this on Ask the Commish:

What happens if a player is traded or retires?

Answer: In most cases, if a player retires, the remaining signing bonus that has not been included in salary “accelerates” and is included in that year’s team salary. Thus, the team will take an immediate salary cap hit of the remaining signing bonus.
