he's got a 12.5 million "ROSTER" Bonus that we were talking about converting to save cap dollars, my question is what is the date of the roster bonus. I'm thinking his arse can be cut quickly and we get out from his fricking deal.

From rotoworld contract blurb:

quote:

---

9/3/2014: Signed a six-year, $45.3 million contract. The deal contains $23 million guaranteed, including a $3.5 million signing bonus and a $12.5 million roster bonus in the second year. Another $6.5 million is available through incentives. Galette is eligible for $100,000 workout bonuses in every year of the deal. 2014: $750,000 (+ $500,000 roster bonus), 2015: $1.25 million (+ $500,000 roster bonus), 2016: $5 million (+ $2.5 million roster bonus), 2017-2019: Under Contract, 2020: Free Agent

From the wording, and the fact that Galette signed the contract with just 2 million in base salaries in the first two years, I believe the roster bonus is guaranteed. Otherwise, there is no way we could hit $23 million guaranteed.
