[QUOTE="Bobby Roberts, post: 71551, member: 260"] Actually Hunt isn't costing the team any money, just salary cap space. The salary cap space that Hunt is taking up this year relates to the prorated portions of his signing and other bonuses. These are bonuses that teams typically structure to count against the cap over several years rather than a single year. Hunt already received all that money, but not all of it counted against the cap when he was paid. That being said, you are correct that the only recorse a team has for a player that underperforms is to cut that player. But that does bring up the point that NFL contracts are not guarenteed. A player can be cut at anytime and therefore the team does not honor every contract. This is why players seek huge signing bonuses. The large signing bonus makes it more difficult to cut a player due to the salary cap hit. It also is the only money in a contract that the player is guarenteed to get. [/QUOTE]
