re: The kiss arse chorus who are the Saints media come quickly to the team's defense..

The 8m in game bonuses isn't on the cap, and usually in cases like this they are considered not likely to be earned (whether they are or aren't doesn't matter, when something is dependent on an outcome likely or not, it's usually considered unlikely for cap purposes), meaning any money from that he does earn goes on next year's cap.

So at most we are only on the hook for $5 mil, but I don't know how much of that is even fully guaranteed.
