A signing bonus, by definition, is paid when the player signs their contract. The instant they sign the contract, that signing bonus is paid to them in full. Teams can use roster bonuses to move bonuses to future years but signing bonuses are signing bonuses.
The Browns probably can't pay out that much cash all at once without taking out a damn loan. We could be talking close to a half billion dollars for these 3 players.

That's what i said.
I'm not quite sure how you came up with 500M for 3 players (assuming you're talking about bonuses and guarantees), since the entirety of the 3 contracts would probably fall a bit short of that, but they have enough money for what they would actually have to pay.
