First link I found with the info...
There are drawbacks to signing bonuses for the owner, however. Because the bonus is guaranteed to the player, if the player is released, traded or waived, all of the bonus money that was being prorated throughout the length of the contract is accelerated to the present year. So, if our team released its star player after the third year of his contract (before June 1) for whatever reason, the entire remainder of the bonus, almost $6.3-million, will have to count toward the cap the next year (if the team releases the player after June 1, only the yearly $1.57-million will count the next year, and the remainder will count the subsequent year).
His bonus will accelerate, and all remaining bonus will hit the cap the year you cut him. So that would be 9.6 million that accelerates, unless you cut him after June 1 and then it's 3.2, then 6.4 the next season against the cap....
