retirement

[Mobarak]

When a player retires do they get paid out the rest of the bonus?

I have always wondered this myself. For cashflow purposes it was already paid but I am not sure about the cap hit.

haven't been playing long enough to have to m any players retire lol

The Bonus technically gets paid at the beginning of the contract. However, they get to keep it and it will hit your cap. It's a bit annoying when your franchise qb retires and hits you really bad with all his bonus.

To check, sim the Patriots for a season or two and you'll notice Brady retiring after one or two seasons. He will hit the cap really bad.

The cap hit of any remaining bonus is compressed into the season following the retirement.

I think this is a great as avoid exploits from users, offering multi-year millions bucks contracts to Star veteran players in their last wheels.
