Any signing bonus is kicking the can and large signing bonuses are sometimes the only way teams can get some players in under the cap.  Players want large guarantees and teams don't want to guarantee salaries 5 years down the road so they give signing bonuses.  Yeah, but if they hadn't done it that way King would have counted even more against the cap in 2021.  Essentially they paid him 5 million to play 1 year.  The choices were cap hits of 2 million in 2021 and 3 million in 2022 or 3 million in 2021 and 2 million in 2022.  They chose to take the lesser hit in 2021 instead of 2022.  There is still a possibility that they can lessen that 3 million hit in 2022 if they sign him to a new contract but they would have to do it before this one voids on whatever day it is.  It all depends on whether they want to keep him, how much they want to pay him and how much he thinks he can make on the open market.Any time you sign a guy to more than a 1 year contract you risk that and in a way you are kicking the can down the road.  I just don't think you are going to sign or retain any of the really top level players without some some degree of can kicking.</blockquote>
