Stew Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 If they are cut before their contract is up, they have to pay out a part of that contract, signing bonus, whatever it is. Players arent just cut with a handshake and a kick in the rear, they get their share as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomK Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 One of the big things that hits the team cap-wise when a player is released is the way the signing bonus is handled. If a player signs a 10 year contract and gets a $10 million dollar signing bonus the signing bonus is spread out over the lenght of the contract $1 million per season. If the player is cut after say the 2nd year, the remaining about is due that season. So even though the player is gone, he counts at least $8 million against the cap for that season. There are other issues as well with the salaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of that money counts against the cap as a penalty in the year that the cut takes place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpickering Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Bonuses are guaranteed and any portion of that bonus that is unpaid when the player is cut accelerates and counts against the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FootballGuy2677 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Dont worry about that, it usually isnt a BIG cap hit unless they got a long-term contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slateman Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Its a way to make sure that a team doesn't just sign a player to a long term deal with alot of cash and then cut him two years into the deal. Otherwise, you'd have everyone signing players to 5 or 6 year deals with all the cash on the back end, winning the big game, then cutting them.

inmate running the asylum Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 i know im setting myself up with this title. But i am just wondering when a team cuts someone how do they get a big cap hit? Shouldn't that help the team not hurt it? I doubt you are a retard, but you do have to do a little bit of reading and research with the Research function, to get the right answer. Not that I'm a genius, but this is such an elementary question, I wonder if its really worth starting a thread over. :paranoid: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
