Salary Cap Question

Recommended Posts

So, if the Bears are well under the salary cap this year, why wouldn't/couldn't they just do the following:

 

-Sign Forte, and make a large chunk of the contract go towards this year's cap

-Have multiple years of a cheaper Forte

 

Seems like this, if permissable, would kill two birds with one stone.

I think it's past the time frame to count against this years cap, but I could be wrong

Ashkum is right. It's too late to apply new paper to this year's cap.

 

That being said, I think nothing got done before the deadline because Forte was asking for more than they wanted to pay him by a big margin - including no big discounts in future years.
