No it does not.

You're thinking of the prorated portions of the signing bonus money that has yet to hit the books. That money would not accelerate and hit our 2009 cap unless we cut or traded the player. Otherwise, we can continue to allocate bonus money to years beyond 2009 as long as the player remains on our roster.
