I'm sick of all of these contracts being back loaded and having ungodly signing bonuses. I think they should be front loaded or full of incentives. Either figure the signing bonus into the first two or three years of the contract, then you have the player on the cheap in the last few years. Make most of the incentives unreachable, but a few reachable and plan for the player to achive them. This way if Joe Schmoe stinks up the joint, his cap hit will nothing because the contract has no signing bonus.

Basically the system is broken.
