Nope. In the last paragraph, second sentence, I don't say this year.

Also, when does RW receive $30M of his signing bonus?

He doesn't receive 30 million of his signing bonus this year. Just under 20 of it with a base salary of 5 mil

All I can say is that you're not reading it correctly.

$19.2M in signing bonus is what is being charged against the cap. This is not what he receives in signing bonus this year.

In the spotrac link, the last column is yearly cash, which is $35M for 2019. This reflects the base $5M, and $30M of the signing bonus.

RW's old contact - if you scroll down on the spotrac page - had a base salary of $17M and a prorated signing bonus of $6.2M for 2019. For salary cap purposes the $6.2M gets added to the new contract's prorated signing bonus of $13M. The 2019 charge against the cap for the signing bonuses is the total of $13M + $6.2M = $19.2M.

Got it. So that signing bonus doesn't count against the cap? He gets 53 mil next year?

Yes, he gets $18M base salary and $35M of his signing bonus. The prorated amounts are the portions of the signing bonus that get counted against the cap.

And RW does get $30M of his signing bonus this year as I said.

And the context of my last paragraph in my original post was for the extension years, not this year.

So how does that add up to 89 million?

[ice99]

I was breaking down his contract because there seemed to be some confusion with it.

As for your question, I can see how they got $89M, although they didn't break down in detail as to how it was calculated.
