That was an example of what Brandon Carr's new signing bonus pro-ration would be following his upcoming restructure, not his total cap number.
Carr is currently shown with a $16.3M cap number ($14.3M base salary, $2M signing bonus) in 2013.
The base salary is already guaranteed because the team intended all along to convert into a second signing bonus to help with the salary cap.
I don't know if Carr's salary will drop to the veteran's minimum or a slightly higher number.
As an example, if it is dropped to $1.2M, the remaining 13.1M will convert to another signing bonus and pro-rate over the next five years (2.62M per yr).
Add Carr's base salary ($1.2M), old signing bonus ($2M) and new signing bonus ($2.62M) to get his new cap number, $5.82M.
This example would save Dallas $10.48M against the cap in 2013.
