1) Mixon gets roughly $2.5 million of the signing bonus now. I am sure that makes a difference to Joe.
2) Accordingly, his cap number is $2.5 mil higher this year, as is ours.
Thus, this new deal, while a 4 year extension (with a team option on the last year), is paying Mixon money over 5 years, not 4. Comprende?
He gets all of his signing bonus this year. It's to released upon signing.
What you're referring to is the cap hits of said bonus, which can be spread out at the team's discretion.
Congratulations, I'm going to bow it from this thread. I'm done debating people who don't understand how any of this works.
