League_Champion Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 If I'm Burrows I want that money in my account ASAP. Especially with what's going on now. Let that money marinate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pre-determined, i.e. the CBA dictates the amount, but not the structure. Thank the dumbass Panthers for giving Cam Newton 100% of the money guaranteed on the first year of the new CBA for the trend, but it's not part of the CBA.

League_Champion Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 The signing bonus money is guaranteed. How it's allocated differs but he gets every penny of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Does anybody have a source like NFL CBA or something else that explains the terms of when a team has to pay the signing bonus? I cannot find a source that shows that and everything I've read (even business and salary cap type stories) mention it being a signing bonus "paid when you sign the contract" or "paid upfront". I know the salary cap hit can be spread out, but the payment is guaranteed and if they had years to pay it, the player could be owed money when they are released while under contract.
