In relation to Anthony Davis (49ers) retiring

quote:

...my guess is they approach this like he is not coming back. That means they would likely try and get back the prorated signing bonus money. That would likely result in a cap credit for 2016, unless they somehow got that money back fairly quickly this year. I don't know the exact rules for the timing of such a credit.

The "Barry Sanders Rule"

quote:

Due to the Salary Cap, owners are now investing a greater amount of money up front for players in the form of guaranteed signing bonuses. Thus, the owners must try to protect their investments by including language in the contract that calls for a player to return a portion of the signing bonus to the team if the player fails or refuses to practice or play with the team. In certain situations, a team will be repaid some of the signing bonus it paid to a player (i.e., a refund), or a team will fail to pay part of a signing bonus that was already allocated toward team salary. If this happens, the amount previously included in team salary will be added to the teams Salary Cap in the next year.
