If this extends the number of years that his salary counts against the cap, **** that.
If it’s just converting some of his salary to unlikely to be achieved incentives that don’t count against the cap, that’s fine.
Of course, this begs the question: the Bills will be right up against the cap this year. What happens if multiple players make incentives that put them over the cap? Seems like a fair penalty would be that the overage amount is subtracted from next year’s cap but I don’t know what the actual rule is.

The key word from Rapoport is re-worked, not extension. Von's original deal is 6 years. He has 4 years remaining. The new 7M signing bonus is spread over the remaining 4 years.
Had we not signed Von would we have lost all these players?
A few....but we'd also be keeping the more effective Floyd and the more useful Epenesa. Miller was a desperation luxury signing meant to frost an unbaked cake. You can't throw money at guys expecting them to reach their prime stats years after their prime imho but McBeane loves them some vets.
Didn't work. If they keep doing it....I will go nuts. This many years into a program you need a draft pipeline of young guys pushing starters not yearly bandaids.

The unlikely incentives, if earned, get applied against the following year's cap, so yes it's kind of a 'penalty'.

Rumor, with an emphasis on rumor...somebody with a podcast (Rosenthal?) is claiming Von was willing to renegotiate because he already knows he's being suspended.
