why arent these just signing bonuses to begin with? whats the point of putting that money on the cap if you can avoid it?
Easy answer. If they are signing bonuses to begin with they are guaranteed when they sign. Having them as roster bonuses and converting them protects us from injury and/or poor play.
Let's say Byrd looks like he won't heal. If we had given him $6 mil more signing bonus up front then that is gone(dead money). If we cut him because he can't play, we save the $6 mil.
That's a big reason we are giving Galette a huge roster bonus. Had he sucked or gotten seriously injured this year, we could save $12.5 mil.
Edit:
Double ninja-ed.

it also pushes the money out of year 1 of the contract. with byrd if it was signing bonus the hit last year wouldve been higher. doing it now runs the money year 2-6 instead of 1-5
