A perfect example is John Tomase' article on McGinest in today's Herald.

This is blatant misinformation. Or proof that Tomase shouldn't be on the NFL beat because he's got no clue about the salary cap. Or both. (of course I am biased as I had to put up with Tomase' idiocy while he wrote for the Lawrence Eagle Tribune).
McGinest is NOT due to make 8.3 Million this year. He's due to make 7 Million and possibly has NLTBE incentives that could bump it higher. But the NLTBE bonuses don't count until they are earned.
Anyways, I am finding this to be the case more and more. That they are either clueless or just downright lie to make a story. And I am honestly tired of it.
I am almost resigned to reading just Mike Reiss, though that's not a bad thing.

He’s due to make $8.3 million and will likely be released before a $3.5 million roster bonus comes due in early March, saving the team $6.8 million against the salary cap.
