Tedy is the man nice small contract...he gives discount again. Gimme 52 Bruschi's and a Tom Brady and I will take on the rest of the NFL.
I trust this makes you feel better. It is not at all clear that other teams would pay Bruschi $2.2M to play this year. I'm glad he decided to play, but that doesn't make his salary a discount.

No. It's a rule.
There are other ways of structuring a contract besides a signing bonus. If, for example, the Pats wanted to accelerate Bruschi's deal to make it a $2.2 million dollar cap hit in 2008 and no dead-money in 2009 if he retires, they could have figured out a structure to accomplish that.
