[QUOTE="Toronto_Cheesehead, post: 210205, member: 459"] To my understanding, there are two types of incentives. Likely to be earned (LTBE) and not likely to be earned (NLTBE). So say Driver has an incentive in his contract saying he gets an extra 500k if he gets 1000 yards receiving. That would count as a LTBE incentive since he surpassed that total last season, and it would be applied to next years cap number. However, he may not get 1000 yards receiving next year, even though the cap is charging the Packers for the bonus. In that case, the league would allow you to go 500k over the cap the next season to make up for being overcharged this year. NLTBE incentives are something that a player did not accomplish in the previous season. For instance, Jennings may have had a bonus in his contract giving him money for recording 10 touchdowns. So that bonus would be applied to next years cap, but in future years it would be treated as a LTBE, assuming he maintains his current levels of production. LTBE incentives are actually a neat loophole that can exposed by teams (i.e. Philadelphia's used it in the past). With young players you can put in a bunch of special team bonuses. If it's a 5 year deal and in the 3rd year that player develops into a starter then he probably won't reach his special team quotas anymore, and the LTBE incentive won't be met that year and a cap credit would occur the following season. I'm sure it gets more invovled than that, but I think it's a pretty accurate overview for most fans who just want the basic knowledge on how incentives work. [/QUOTE]
