BTW...Future guaranteed money must be placed in escrow when a contract is signed to discourage teams from guaranteeing future salary. As for cash over cap because the Skins have about 15M in dead money and perhaps 30M in prorations for players still on the roster that reflect money paid in previous years Snyder would have to write over 48M of signing bonuses to go over the limit of cap+2%. That would only be the case this year if future guaranteed money is charged when it's placed in escrow instead of when it's actually paid to the player.

You're saying some things that are new to me. Can you please give me the links?
1. 15 Million in dead money?? Where'd you get that number? Last I saw it was closer to 3M.
2. Never seen anything about requiring an escrow for future guaranteed money. Also, even if such an escrow exists, it probably only applies to certain bonuses. In Arch's case, I think he only gets the bonus if he is actually on the team. If he is cut, he doesn't get the bonus.
