i would assume this lowers his cap number to significantly.

One fan is thinking the cap hit will be 5.6. Thats the part I care the most about.

"Was $10.25M at trade. MT @Jason_OTC: Looks like McCoys first year cap number will be $5.6 million (using numbers from @MikeGarafolo ) #Bills"

Cool. Sign Hughes and Spikes. An OG and a TE.

I was hoping this year's cap hit would get down around that area. Good news.

All the criticisms of this trade based on the cap number are now rendered mute.

But there was no way we'd get this done before Tuesday. I read so here.

So we backloaded a halfback contract!?! this offseason is a nightmare

front loaded.

He makes over half of the guaranteed money this year.

No not exactly.
They are paying him $16m in 2015 which most of it is his bonus (26m guaranteed)
this means that eventhough they are paying him most of his guaranteed $$$ in 2015, the bills will still spread that bonus across the entire contract. The effect is that it had a positive effect on 2015 Cap as he only accounts for $5M vs Cap, and if they cut him after 4th year, they will only owe him 2.5M (over next 4 years he should collect the majority of the 10m owed).

front loaded.

No it isn't. Spotrac is reporting a 13 million signing bonus on a 5 year deal.

You can't lower a guy's year 1 cap number AND claim the contract is frontloaded.
