[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 498516"] 1) Why would the player go for that? It amounts to 7 years, $91 - $98 mil. 2) No sensible owner wants $21 mil in dead cap, especially from one player. It's one thing to be stuck with it because of a mistake or injury; it's another to build it into your future salary structure. 3) When you grow the signing bonus/guaranteed money that large, a career-ending or performance-hindering injury in the early years of the contract would set the program back several years. Think of the implications of $56 million in dead cap after 2 years, for instance. Imagine if Al Davis could have spread singing bonuses out indefinitely. As bad as the dead cap situation is now in Oakland it could be a lot worse without the 5 year limit. Without the 5 year limit Al also would have been driving up salaries...he could have overpaid guys by an even wider margin into a more pronounced death spiral. [/QUOTE]
