Groucho Marxist: Dec 9, 2005; Do you smell what The Mauk is cooking?

All of the Chiefs signings so far have had guaranteed roster bonuses instead of signing bonuses. This would probably be really interesting if I knew anything about NFL contracts. Anyone care to explain?

Signing bonuses are spread out as a cap hit over the length of a contract, whereas roster bonuses are applied to the year they're given out. Since there's no salary cap this year, but almost assured to be one next year, you can give out roster bonuses in lieu of signing bonuses to move costs to this season.

Also of note, that the year the roster bonus is applied based on the date it's supposed to be paid and manipulating these numbers can move it between years. So, I wouldn't be surprised if some amount of those roster bonuses aren't technically setup to be paid out next march - april where it would still account against this year's non-existent cap.

Also, roster bonuses don't have to be paid if you cut the player before it's scheduled to be paid, so teams can hedge their bets a bit that way. Of course, getting a top draft pick to agree to taking those over a big signing bonus.....

Yeah, it's only been a 3rd round pick and a couple of 5ths to do this so far. I imagine Berry/McCluster/Arenas all have signing bonuses. Thanks for the info, it's always fun finding out new ways Pioli owns.

He's also struggled against the Browns and Chiefs when their defenses were nothing special. What I'm saying is that Romeo is magic
