[QUOTE="wpr, post: 11804, member: 198"] I look at it a little differently BR. Players today get the best kind of a guaranteed contracts. They get all that money up front. NFL players complained about not having guaranteed deals like the MLB players have and this was the solution that the teams and owners came up with. The signing bonus is the great equalizer. Hunt may have been gone long ago but that would throw all of his bonus into one or two years and that would be bad for the cap. One the other hand if a player gets injured or has a couple of poor seasons he still keeps his bonus money. Also if a team has big bucks at the back end of a deal like Mike Wahle had, players tend to love that. Wahle had to of known since he signed the deal that GB was going to have to release him when the roster bonus was going to kick in. That made him a free agent and could look for even bigger bucks with another team along with a new signing bonus. [/QUOTE]
