Are you sure about Carter and El's upfront money? Just because the money is announced as "guaranteed" doesn't mean it's all up front. It's unlikely they would get everything up front with no additional bonuses later in the contract.
I find that Snyder has really moved away from big roster bonuses and is using more and more option bonuses. Option bonuses get prorated, roster bonuses do not. One reason might be that he's sick of restructuring 10 contracts every offseason.
2006 bonuses prorate over 5 years. In 2007 (and for a few years after) they prorate over 6 years (if the contract runs that long).
