Otherwise, it would be easy to manipulate the cap by just signing player to a vet minimum and then saying "you get a 10 million dollar bonus if you rush for two yards in a season.

Add into that, performance based bonuses that can be added that don't count against the cap at all and


I am not certain, but some performance based bonuses do count against the cap, but are just spread out over life of the contract. After a year is over, a team can get a credit if the player did not hit the incentive, if hit then it was already counted so nothing to do.


So no a team can't just throw in a huge performance bonus and it never being accounted for if I read it correctly. I think the only bonuses not count against the cap are things like a workout bonus.
