I happen to be 5-7 million under the cap in October. That measly 5-7 million looks really good to that QB as a signing bonus. It's one of the few ways to really find a win/win on these contracts. The player got re-upped and a nice chunk in a signing bonus and the team will reap the rewards by paying current market rates instead of the rate they would pay 2 years from now. (Often with little added salary for the next 2 years)Seattle has so many guys do that they can't even go there and they're trying to get out from the dead money as well.</blockquote>
