Why is this week important for contract extensions of NFL players?
Monday is the deadline for contracts to be submitted with the possibility of bonus and salary entirely applied to the 2008 Salary Cap. In other words, contracts can be structured – as we did in Green Bay and several teams now do – to allocate a disproportionate amount of Cap to the present to allow for maximum flexibility in the future. After Monday, teams can still extend contracts through the last Saturday of the regular season, but bonus will necessarily be prorated through the term of the contract, thus only a portion of the money will be allocated in 2008. With an average of over 7M of Cap room per team; look for some extensions to happen.
