yes. really. Fletcher Mackel is wrong. If Galette is on the team come March 12, he collects the roster bonus. If he is not on the team come March 12, he does not. That is why it is called a roster bonus.

do you understand what guaranteed money is? means we have to pay it regardless if he is cut or not... We can't cut him without paying whatever is left of the 23 million guaranteed, but keep arguing

do you understand what a roster bonus is?

so your saying his guaranteed(12.5 according to Mackal) won't count because it is roster bonus?

It's only guaranteed if he is on the roster.

Roster bonus works like this: If you are on the roster when the bonus comes due, you get it. Typically these are broken down by game though. For instance you might get a 10 million roster bonus, divided by 16 (because there are 16 games). If a player only plays 8 games then, he would only receive half that roster bonus.

Galette's roster bonus was fully guaranteed, meaning that even if he missed half the games he would still get the whole thing. But even then, he doesn't get any of it if he is not on the roster come March 12.

Hope this helps.

The dead money is another issue, but most of that is being kicked down the road. Cutting him wouldn't have much effect on this year's cap. If you are worried about 2017 or 2018 that's another issue but I doubt Loomis is thinking that far ahead. We're year to year at this point.
