Reiss: Tedy's deal

[Miguel]

No, there is a rule: bonus hit = [amount of bonus] / [remaining years on contract].

So: [$1.2 million] / [2 years] = $600,000 per year.
Similarly, Wes Welker gets a $3.5 million roster bonus this year. So that counts as $3.5 million / [4 years left on his contract] or $875,000 each year from 2008 to 2011.

The 3.5 million is an option bonus. Welker is getting a $250,000 roster bonus this year.

I'd just like to say, Welcome back Tedy!!

Ok you payroll junkies may continue geeking over the salary cap implications now.
