"It(Washington's contract) also includes a $4 million roster bonus that comes due next March." I have been reporting that Washington is due a $4 million roster bonus in 2008. A roster bonus is not prorated.
This week Mike Reiss reported that the bonus is actually an option bonus. An option bonus is prorated which means that I have been overstating Washington's 2008 cap number by $3 million and understating his 2009/2010/2011 numbers by a million.
This now makes my 2008 numbers really close to what Adamjt13 reported in September. Before, I was off by about $4 million. Now I am off by less than $200,000
