[QUOTE="sschind, post: 755484, member: 10247"] If there is a signing bonus involved, which I assume there is, it can now be averaged over 4 years instead of 3 and since 2017 is over it is essentially off the books. it may not mean much for the cap hit since unused money rolls over but now a 20 million SB counts 5 million a year instead of almost 7 which reduces dead money if he is cut before the contract ends. Also, by adding a bunch of money to his 2017 contract in the form of a bonus they can actually give him less in the following years and he still gets the same amount of money. Say he gets an additional 2 million this year in the form of one lump sum check he may knock 500K off next years salary because it would be spread out over the season. I'm not saying that is what happened but just pointing out a couple of advantages of getting the deals done in 2017. [/QUOTE]
