They still have to account for them on the cap. 

They only count incentives if they are "likely to be earned". That is why there is a cap adjustment. I think this years happened last week.

Only if the incentive is considered “likely to be earned” which is determined by looking at the previous year. 
 

I’m unclear how they would consider Dalton’s incentives being he’s clearly brought in to be a backup/mentor, but he played quite a bit last year.

I don't know enough about this cap accounting stuff to offer an educated opinion because I really do not care about this cap stuff. Tepper pays a guy to worry about that stuff so I sure as hell am not going to worry about for free.  I'll let all the amateur GM'S play that game.

The first time he fugs up everyone will be clamoring for the rookie. He’s a good teammate and doesn’t have an ego. An upgrade over Sam.

I only worry was he brought here to start for a year because they are going for the Richardson experiment or is he a VET backup to help Stroud or Young from the sidelines..

The old " red rocket", eh?

Another big miss in the offseason. Any GM with a 36 year old Dalton on their QB board should lose their job.

Yea we clearly should have went for Carr or Jimmy G to waste cap and hinder our #1 picks development while these guys are trying to live out there childhood dreams in their twilight years.

gtfoh. 

Dalton is a fine signing, he has played just as good as carr or Jimmy G in the past and comes a hell of a lot cheaper. He also does not mind being a backup and will start in a pinch if needed.

I thought one of the reasons we signed Anderson has the QB coach would be to help our rookie starter 

Why did we need to sign another washed up reclamation project?

The amount of negative reaction in here from signing a backup QB to backup QB money is hilarious. 

When he is starting week 1 , I will bump this thread

When he is not, barring a major catastrophe, bump yourself off the site.

Dalton was not brought in to be a starter.

What the hell do some of you guys want. He was signed to serve one purpose and one purpose only. To mentor the rookie and fill in if needed.

Who did you think they would sign to fill this role at a low ball price?
