I don't get what "guaranteed for injury and cap" means for next year's base salary.
The increased base salaries in the last two years could mean this is a contract they'll re-evaluate when it gets to that point. He's a bargain between now and then.
You can guarantee for lots of things. Most common are loss of skill or injury. I think cap means you cannot cut him to effect a cap savings...someone else would have to go...

Do we know yet how signing bonuses will work on the cap if and when a cap is reinstated? Will that $16 mill be amortized over the cap as it would've been before?
EDIT: I see Mo answers the Q before I even posted it. ^^^^
I am pretty sure that 2010 signing bonuses can be prorated over 5 years.
260 views for a thread with Tom's contract details vs. 6000 for the end of the Maroney era. Speaks volumes...LOL
I'm confused... with no CBA for 2011 how can we know anything about how the signing bonus' would work?
Just kindof seems like this was structured to give the Pats enough flexibility to deal with a contract of this nature regardless of what the CBA dictates - but aside from that I'm clueless as to how we can know how this contract impacts anything past this year.
No clue how this stuff work but where do we see the guaranteed $48 million?
