So if a player has incentives in his contract, do you have to assume he'll hit all of them when it comes to figuring your cap hit for that player?

Example: say SF gives Kaeperdick a $12MM base salary, with another $1MM if he makes pro bowl, $4MM for Super Bowl win and another $3MM if he is named league MVP. Now any sane person knows that those things will never happen in a year, but does SF have to count him as a $12MM hit or a $20MM hit when they are figuring out cap numbers?

Because they wouldn't really know those figures until the season is over?

Great question--I have always wondered myself.  Assumed it was carried over to the following year.

An arbitrator determines whether individual bonuses are "likely" or "not likely" to be earned. Only what is considered as likely is included in the year's cap, so in your Kaepernick example none of it would be considered likely so the cap hit would be $12m.

However, let's assume you said Peyton instead of Kaep: Manning would also count for another $1m since the Pro Bowl would be "likely" for him, but not Kaep. So the same contract can have a separate hit, depending on the player.

Now, should a player achieve a goal that was considered "unlikely," it gets added to the following year's cap. So if Manning wins the Super Bowl, the $4m bonus you described hits the cap in 2015.

      Speaking of revisiting trades: Brian Burns

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      The trade offer was for a prime Khalil Mack player. That's never been Burns.  Burns production was on par with Reddick. 3 year 45m was the contract Reddick signed. Burns could have gotten a little more, but 5 year 141 is ridiculous in comparison of production at that stage of their career.  Burns is playing well in year 8. Yay. Finally. Pass rusher that still can't play the run. Same thing everyone said then, including me. Fitterer should have been fired immediately for not taking the trade. Burns didn't shut down the Broncos from scoring 33 in the 4th quarter. 33 GD points. That's not an elite take over the game when it matters player. I'm still not wrong. And you're still an idiot.
