I will take this opportunity to deny any involvement in this shooting
Blame the small creature, he just said a few days ago that he hates anyone not on the Pats.
If they pay it out in a lump sum the cap hit will be low, the dead money skyrockets if he's cut the year they payout that bonus, but it should stabilize after that.
Similar to what the Phins are trying to do with Suh. A ton of upfront paid out money, then more reasonable pay down the road with higher cap amounts since it's probably straight salary instead of paid bonuses.
Making McCoy make sense, cap wise.
It's actually smart, I think they have a ton of room this year. Helps when you don't have to pay a QB I guess.
So he receives a $13 million signing bonus. We'll see how much of the other money is within the first two years.
You guys are right, it doesn't seem that bad compared to where he was at.
So he counts $5.6M against the cap. Huge savings from that contract he had with the Eagles, almost $5M.
Gotor probably framed Hernandez too.
It never, ever is as bad for the team as the media reports, because ALL pro football leaks come from agents. They've even managed to bastardized the word guaranteed.
Yeah. They restructured the deal and moved some of the bonuses up front it seems to lower the cap hit across the life of the deal.
Don't see the big deal. Doesn't hurt their cap and he is worth the bonus.
Eagles should have restructured him similarly. Lower the cap hit and reward him for past 5 seasons.
Happy for McCoy.
When players are making these deals, do they believe the money is "guaranteed." Every other sport, "guaranteed" means guaranteed.
Good for McCoy to restructure. This was going to need to happen if he was going to stay with the Eagles anyway.
NFLPA is a humongous joke.
How can they include roster bonuses as guaranteed when it is completely dependent on making a roster?
Why would you hate on your home team?

Well if he's cut anytime, all of the dead money will then count against cap, so going by the 26 million guaranteed, he still has 20 million or so dead money on the books after this year.
Not sure if they spread it out through all 5 years, tho. Kinda doubt it.
One more time. That guaranteed money is not guaranteed. Just the signing bonus of $13M.
Bucs suck and Pats fans are the worst.

Txtgate decision has to come soon. Really it's unfair to Browns not having a resolution yet. FA starts this week. And not knowing if we're gonna lose a pick kinda handcaps any possible trades or transactions the team might make. Goodell always trying to keep the cleve downIn good news the Browns have not embarrassed themselves this week, a big victory if I do say so myself.
Thus meaning tomorrow or Tuesday we will probably fuck up.
Yeah they need to seriously clear contract terms up for players.
A lot of players are not money savvy or business savvy and basically get taken advantage of.
NFLPA should also teach finance 101 to players as a mandatory thing... or NCAA should do it. Too many players go bankrupt
So, all that matters is the signing bonus.

From Shadys point of view it doesn't really matter.
The Eagles are paying him $3.4M the next two years and the Bills just pumped $16M into his bank account.
That's $17.7M for one year and $19.4M for 2 from two different teams.
Not to mention that he has probably some for sure money the two years beyond the first with the Bills. He's getting paid plenty well.
The Bills did the smart thing and paid out the cash upfront.
In terms of dead money, absolutely. We'll have to see the details, but I'm guessing there's some roster bonuses towards the end of the contract that will make McCoy a likely cut in 3 years.
They do. There is a large finance portion to rookie week. I think it's the league that does it and not the union, though.
With that kind of money fines become wholly irrelevant. Dolphins gonna have blood on their hands.
If he gets a bonus this year, that is where the dead money will likely be attributed.
What bonus money does is lower the cap hit, while at the same time increasing the dead money. It makes sense for a team to do that, because once they get beyond that year with the bonus and huge dead cap potential the contract is typically much more team friendly and allows them to move away from the player more easily if things don't work out.

You could always structure the contract so that way your player is paid his guaranteed money one year in advance. Your player is effectively ensured to see at least a good portion of that money regardless of whether the team needs to cut his ass or not. But then, what kind of jackass sorry franchise would fall for that shit?
Who gives a shit about Suh?
TEBOW is resurrecting!
SB49 was the darkest of days but the true Lord is rising from the grave.
