Re: Mario's contract is pay as you go?
Your cap number and the actual money you are paying out it totally different things. Ralph wouldn't care about the cap hit if he could save the 10+ million dollar roster bonus if he's not living up to expectations after this season. That's how it goes with almost any player the first year they are released after a big deal. That's why they budget the cash to crap method and count their bonuses into the current year salary instead of spreading them out in their internal cap like most teams do.
As far as the cap goes that's not a huge issue anyway. He would still count a ton towards the cap and most likely we won't be using it all next season anyway. Hell we're sitting there with 20 million dollars this year and didn't get one legitimate starter, re-sign either of our top FA's or extend any other young talent we have with it. That 20 million dollars is just going to waste this season.
