Quote:I guess that puts more of the cap hit into this year, since signing bonuses are used to spread out the cap hit.   It would also make it easier to cut these guys and not take any cap hit at all.  

 

Bingo.

 

In regards to having to cut one of the players, the band-aid has already been ripped off so to speak. Since all of their money is wrapped up in Salary and Roster Bonus, that means that the Cap hit isn't spread out over the life of the contract. Once the team pays it, it's on the Cap. There's no pushing stuff out if I'm understanding the situation correctly.
