I would, however, suggest that you do some research on what a roster bonus is, how they are paid out, and figure it all out for yourself. It's really not that complicated once you get into it.

I would suggest you do some research on what guaranteed and dead money is, how it is paid out and figure it all out for yourself...

With your "theory" we could cut Drew because he has no roster bonus and not have to pay him the rest of his guaranteed...

ignorance...

I don't think you understand, but I wish you wouldn't be so hostile about this.

Galette's cap number is $15 million dollars. The roster bonus, $12.5 million, comprises most of that $15 million. Therefore, if he doesn't receive his roster bonus, the cap number is greatly reduced (keep in mind, I'm only talking about in terms of this year, not the dead money from other parts of the contract that gets carried into future years).

I should note that overthecap's projection are made with the assumption that the roster bonus will be paid out. If the player is cut before the bonus comes due their projections will change accordingly.

That's what happened with Lance Moore and Harper last year, for instance. Hence we are not carrying a huge dead money number for them (among others).

Your example about Brees is the exact reverse situation. So I don't know exactly where you are coming from here.
