Maroney contract? - New England Patriots Forums

I was just checking out miguel's cap page and I see maroney has a cap fig of just over a million in amortized signing bonus, but when I read his contract details I saw this:

Laurence Maroney - On 8/14 the Boston Globe's Mike Reiss reported that "Maroney's contract with the Patriots is a five-year package worth a total of $8.735 million, according to NFL Players Association figures. The deal doesn't include a signing bonus, but $6.13 million of the contract is guaranteed, and with easy-to-earn incentives it would increase to $6.2 million."

so I'm a little confused.
if we cut him I notice we're in the hole another 900k in cap money --- is this due to some guaranteed 2010 money?
