There is a floor, it will be salaries + cash bonuses (signing or otherwise).
But just because the floor is close to the cap doesn't mean deadcap is limited to the difference. Signing bonuses don't all hit the cap in the current year, they are allocated to future seasons.
It's entirely possible to pay out $140 million in cash in a given year, and at the same tiem have a cap number less than $120 million.
