[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 758092"] As an FYI, signing bonuses are what they sound like: cash money up front in the form of a check with the necessary tax and other deductions. Checks are typically cut at signin or withing a few days. When Adams and Linsley signed those contracts on 12/30, you can assume checks were cut that day to book in 2017. I mention this because in the Bennett situation, it's a matter of clawing back cash money already paid, not withholding money due. And if you don't claw back the cash, you don't claw back the cap space. The onus is on the Packers to make their case. That's harder than if the money was withheld and Bennett had to make his case to get the payment. [/QUOTE]
