Nice job FO.

i like it. but with no cap this year, was there no way to put the entire bonus into this years book? i don't understand why they would prorate the nearly $37M bonus if they could get it all into this uncapped year. anyone have any idea?

maybe in case there's not a next year.. they don't give him all of it off the bat?

but it's guaranteed money. he's going to get it either way, right?

true, unless there's wording otherwise

where's our gosh darn cap expert? i need to know this. it will haunt me if we had the opportunity to put all that guaranteed money into this uncapped year and chose not to do so.

lets see 21Mill in april = no show mandatory camp. Let's just let him work and get paid, no need to give a 22 year old 37Mill his first day at work. The salary cap will work itself out...

no need to get all the guaranteed money out of the way in an uncapped year so his cap hit would be roughly $6M less each following year? it just doesn't make sense to me - he's going to get his money either way.

btw, this is just me assuming that it was possible to get all his guaranteed money onto this years book. i have no idea if that was possible. can anyone comfirm?
