It's easy, and only takes a few moments.They are generally due in March, often on the 5th day of the new league year (which is roughly a week before FA or by March 31. Sometimes they are due sooner. Vick just had a roster bonus due last Thursday and Philly opted to pay it since they don't know what they want to do with hm just yet (I think Kelly has said he'd like to retain him but only on a restructured deal). There is no set rule on the timing of option or roster bonuses.
Just an FYI, since you brought him up and I didn't want to make a separate thread for it:
Vick and the Eagles have worked out a one year deal.
What is the date that Lloyd's option bonus is due? I thought that this date was sometimes the first of March in the past. It is $3M.
This is the crying shame Cousin;
"Fitzgerald is stuck on scrub island at this point, as he’s the best wide receiver in football with no quarterback to get him the ball.
The frustration you must feel having your prime NFL years wasted.
Fitzgerald is not depressed about though as he keeps his spirits up, and according to Larry Brown Sports, Fitzgerald is not sure how to respond.
“I have no words,” Fitzgerald said according to the Arizona Republic. “I have to laugh to keep from crying.”
I would take Edleman and Fitzgerald and maybe DHB on the cheap and not sign Welker and release Lloyd (A I mentioned Gaffney II).
Can BB spring him out of jail? How about Mallet and a third? You would have a go to, a lot of outsider speed and AH in the slot with Edelman as your #4. I could live with that.

2013: $5 million (+ $10 million option bonus due 3/15), 2014: $12.75 million, 2015: $8 million (+ $8 million roster bonus), 2016: $15 million, 2017-2018: $14.75 million, 2019: Free Agent
Cousin DW never sweats the details. The Cards could trade Fitz in a heartbeat because he has just $6M in dead cap and the bulk of his deal is yet to come and would cripple whatever team he was traded to.
Cap hits to trading partner $7.25M, $15M, $16.25M, $17.25M, $17M, $15M.
Perhaps when Larry next looks in the mirror he should ask himself why don't I have a franchise QB tossing me that rock...is it something I did? btw Fitz will be 30 in August. Roughly $30M of his $50M in guaranteed money remains to be paid.
This is also why I grimace when folks cavalierly claim that Welker is asking for top WR money. He's asking for roughly half of that...on half as long a deal.

Sign Welker to a 3-year, $33 million deal, and then trade him, along with Mallett and a 2014 2nd round pick to Arizona for Fitzgerald. As much as I like Welker, Fitzgerald is simply better. Yes, he would cost more, but he'd be worth it. And as part of the deal you ask Fitz to rip up his deal and take a pay cut. Would he do it? Well, if he's laughing to keep himself from crying, then what a nice change of fortune it would be to go from the crapfest that is Arizona to the nice spirals of Tom Brady and the juggernaut Patriots. Say he redoes his deal and costs only $13 million a year against the cap? (note: is that even allowed? can players simply rip up deals and agree to take less? I think so, but I'm not positive) Then the Pats' payroll only goes up slightly.
So for the Pats, they'd get a major WR upgrade in Fitzgerald. The price to pay is Welker, their backup QB, a future 2nd round pick, and less cap space.
For the Cards, they free up a lot of money, they get a potential QB of the future, a nice future draft pick, and, oh by the way, a really, really good WR back in return.

I certainly expect that we will pay the bonus. After all, we could always trade him if we thought we found someone better.
Oops, that doesn't work because of the ELEVEN million of dead money.
Check your math. Cant have 11 mill dead money on a 3yr 12mill deal
