So if Berry gets say 5 years, $40 million with a $10 million bonus and 1st year salary of $1million, his cap hit is $3 million not $8 million. $5 million freed up right there.

They're "old"guys.
Spreading out a signing bonus for over 30 players would cripple the franchise in the future.
That's not going to happen.
