[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 842162"] All the reports are saying Brown got $9 mil in signing bonus from New England. If true, Hoodie ain't getting back that money or cap regardless of what happens. Miami sued Ricky Williams to get back signing bonus money when he abruptly retired after one year with team back in 2003. It didn't matter in the end because Ricky wanted to come back, Miami held his rights, and he had to issue that refund as Miami's condition for his return. Since we're on the subject of head cases, Ricky was a first ballot electee to the the Head Case Hall of Fame. To disgress, OBJ isn't far behind; sooner or later that guy is gonna blow up. I'm aware of no other instance where signing bonus money was clawed back. Even Brown's small signing bonus attached to the extension he signed with Oakland is booked as dead cap. They cut him, their choice. Signing bonuses are just that: guaranteed money for putting your John Hancock on the dotted line. Probably the strongest case (and perhaps only case) for getting back signing bonus money is if a guy retired before taking a single snap after signing the deal. Even then, if the check was cashed, you'd have to take the guy to court, and good luck with that. [/QUOTE]
