Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 856914">Your use of the word "allow" triggered a thought about the curious timing of this thing.Start with the fact that unused cap carries over to the following year.  "Use it or lose it" went out the window with the 2010 CBA.So, doing it this way, gets you a $2.9 mil signing bonus charge against the 2019 cap and another $2.9 mil charge against the 2020 cap.  Since the 2019 cap being expended would have been carried over to 2020 in the absence of this move, the net affect is a $5.8 mil signing bonus charge against the 2020 cap.If the exact same terms were applied after the season, the $14.26 mil in signing bonus would have been prorated over 4 years instead of 5.  $14.26 mil / 4 = $3.6 mil.Had this been done later, taking affect in 2020 sometime before the roster bonus was due in March, the Packers would have picked up another $2.2 mil in 2020 cap space.  Of course there's no free lunch; that extra $2.2 mil cap space would be an additional cap liability in the 2021-2023 years.Still, with the evident (and justifiable) priority on "win now", it does beg a question.</blockquote>
