Under this rule, the team can designate a player (or a combination of two players) to be signed and receive the benefit and reduce his (or their) base salary for Cap purposes by up to $1.25M (combined if it’s two players). This rule also limits the player’s signing bonus to $137,500 and the player’s base salary cannot be more than $1.25M over the applicable minimum salary for the player’s sevice time.
For example: The team could sign a player to a contract with a base salary of $2.325M (base salary of $1.075M + $1.25M) and a signing bonus of $137,500. The total money earned by the player would be $2,462,500, but the deal would only count $1,212,500 on the team’s Cap.

oh BS, he's pretty damn good. old now but he did just QB a team that won a Superbowl. He just might make it into the hall now because of that switch. He would have had a better career on just about any other team. [Reply]
