Just thought of a way. The Colts added a LTBE incentive when that he is not likely to earn to Manning's contract for the 2007 year

I don't know. But, my hunch is that teams are probably using some buyout option at the team's choice. For example, take money out of Manning's deal and then put in a buyout option clause that restores the "x" million dollars he gave up if an option to terminate is exercised before a given date. This sort of thing might be a way to guarantee money that doesn't trigger the "guarantee" provisions of the salary cap because it is a team option.

I would have to defer to Adam on the legality of such an approach.

Would it be too much trouble to put the spreadsheet up as well as the GIF ?? I, for one, would really appreciate that if you could.

Just realized that adding an incentive to the 2007 year would not help.

Only because we have it on good authority it is one lesser known of the signs of the apocolypse.

Default Who cares

The Colts could be under the cap, at the cap, over the cap... who gives a rat's tookus. Why waste time talking about them like they're an actual concern? Let me know when Manning lives up to his potential and the Colts actually win the AFC; then I'll be concerned about them. They can't beat the Pats, and they apparently can't beat the Steelers either. File them under "I" for "insignificant until proven otherwise"....

True Dat


and what new rules will Polian sneak through to further aid the Colts and Manling in the quest for "the ring!!"....Polian should invest in a laxative to ease Peytie's pucker ring
