That is not all though.. Bonus can be very useful in controlling the cap, since only backloaded contracts exists in M13. So if you give a huge contract to a star player with no bonus, your going to end up having him take up a lot of your cap space in the last years of his contract. If you make some of the contract bonus based, you can even it out across his whole contract instead. Can be very useful if the player is someone you know you will want to keep through the whole contract
