A signing bonus or sign-on bonus is a sum of money paid to a new employee by a company as an incentive to join that company.
Because if you rank the pay of NFL QBs based on including the entire signing bonus in the 1st year of the deal then every year the top QBs will be the ones that signed their deals that year and then the next year they will drop near the bottom of the rankings when only their salary is being considered. Like I said, RW won't even be on the list next year with just his $18MM salary. Does that mean he isn't a top paid QB any longer and that Teddy Bridgewater and Mariota will be the top paid QBs because they happened to sign their deals in 2020?Donn Beach wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2019 8:33 amreally don't see why Forbes needs to take into consideration how the Hawks or NFL expense a signing bonus but that's just me. Federer is pretty much the exact opposite, he has 86 mil in endorsements, and 7 mil in salary
Teddy Bridgewater? Mariota maybe but Teddy ain't even gonna come close to a contract like that.D-train wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2019 2:47 pmBecause if you rank the pay of NFL QBs based on including the entire signing bonus in the 1st year of the deal then every year the top QBs will be the ones that signed their deals that year and then the next year they will drop near the bottom of the rankings when only their salary is being considered.

Even overthecap.com add a prorated portion of his bonus next year. Its the way the entire world accounts for such things so it is pretty shocking that a supposedly respected finance oriented publication would not bother to do it that way especially since it only requires 4th grade math.

I was just throwing out some lesser 2020 FA QB names but my point is if you include their entire signing bonus along with their 2020 salary it will be higher than RWs 2020 $18MM salary but it would be nonsensical to say that they are more highly paid than RW because of it.ThePro wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2019 3:15 pmTeddy Bridgewater?
