Can someone please explain why Anthony Gonzalez's base salary is $701K instead of $700K?
I know it sounds like a little thing, but that $1K basically disqualifies his contract from the Minimum Salary Benefit (a UFA like Niko Koutouvides who signs a one-year deal for the minimum salary + a bonus of $65,000 or less counts only as much as a third-year player's minimum salary against the cap). That means ATM the Pats are paying him $1,000 extra, but it costs them an extra $150K or so against the cap.
