    Signing Bonuses- Circumventing the Salary Cap While the National Football League has a “salary” cap in that all teams have to be under the defined amount 365 days a year, with March 1 serving as the deadline for when contracts roll over from one season to the next, teams have developed ways of circumventing this cap- signing bonuses. When most people read that a player signs a new contract, they see that player X signed a 5 year, 20 year million dollar contract and assume that the player is earning 4 million dollars per year. This, however, is not how the salary cap works. In order to make a contract cap-friendly, teams “backload” contracts putting the majority of payment in the out years. Year 1: $400,000 (league minimum) Year 2: $1.5 M Year 3: $1.5 M Year 4: $7 M Year 5: $9.6 M Signing bonus: 10 M With a contract like this, a player who signs a deal like that would count $2,400,000 against his team’s salary cap for the first year of the contract, rather than the $4 million logic would dictate he cost. The team thus saves $1.6 Million dollars under the cap by the way they’ve structured the contract. As time wears on, and the player’s additional value to the team does not meet his salary cap hit, teams then choose to either renegotiate or cut players. A player’s signing bonus is generally prorated over the life of the contract. Thus, Player X above maintains a relatively low cap number for the life of his contract. If he is cut by the team, because NFL Contracts are not guaranteed, the team pays a cap penalty of the remaining portion of his signing bonus. This is part of the reason for contracts constantly being negotiated and yearly rash of player cuts around the March 1 deadlines. Because signing bonuses often call for players to receive money that would not be part of the DGR, this creates the need for owners to find other short-term revenue streams, as the discussion on stadiums and lessons later will show.

    Im sure teams like the Jets and Redskins, who charge MUCH more for tickets then the Bills and just have more $ to spend up-front, can hand out Signing Bonuses and blackload contracts much easier then a team like Buffalo...yes their is a cap, but yes, there are ways around it too... Im no expert, thats just the way I see it.

    I hate the Jets with a passion too...maybe some Bills fans here who actually said they would root for the Jets over the Eagles ina SB can re-examine the situation and come to their senses too..I really dont know how any Bills fan can ever root for the POS team and ESPECIALLY their POS fans.

    If TH cannot get this team anything in return, cut him and sign or draft a RB who can do the things necessary to be a backup perhaps a better receiving back, a better blocking back, and get a RB who KNOWS his role and will not B word and sulk and miss blitzes when he is in the game!!!
