From what I can gather so far (had the game a couple weeks now), when you're negotiating contracts with players, you assign a base salary and a signing bonus/ guaranteed money. This led me to believe that the Bonus comes out of the team Funds (Evidence: The drop in funds from pre- to post-negotiation equates to Bonus x Contract Years) and the Salary makes up the Salary Cap Hit that is deducted from of the cap itself. However, I'm noticing double dipping.

Example:
I re-signed my QB to a 6 year deal worth $135 million overall - $84.1 million in Salary and a Bonus of $51.7 million in total guaranteed. The Bonus was taken upfront out of the team Funds in total - my Funds went from ~$80 million to ~30 million.

After re-signing, his Salary Cap Hits show up as:
2021 - $15.1M
2022 - $17.1M
2023 - $19.6M
2024 - $23M
2025 - $27.3M
2026 - $32.9M
TOTAL Salary Cap Hit - $135M

This means the computer is calculating the Salary + Bonus for the SCH total and dispersing it through the contract years. Unless I'm missing something, this is a pretty big problem.
