To clarify, the signing bonus is spread out over the life of the contract.  If we get out after year 2 of a 4 year deal, there will still be $10 million of the $20 million signing bonus unaccounted for that would immediately go against our cap.  To be honest though, the cap goes up pretty significantly each year except the pandemic outbreak season so it's not that big a deal either way.

I posted a link to sportstrac that has his contract.  It says a potential out in 2024 will be a 1 mil cap hit
