if you cooked books, then you migh be a criminal. accountants are supposed to have "honesty, integrity" of the highest degree. so I question you and your skills. I can certainly see you don't have integrity or honesty...you have an agenda to drive
the one thing you would notice if you paid any attention, and I mean any minimal attention is that its a 6 year deal that allows it to spread the signing bonus over 6 years. given last two years are voidable, then after 4 years the dollar amount that gets paid out sums up to 160M.....
if you really were a person who "cooked books", then this shouldn't be very difficult for you to understand. but seemingly you can't wrap your head around it and struggling.
p.s.
did you work for the Mafia? or the cartel?
p.s.
did you send the company you worked for into bankruptcy? LOL
Well this explains a lot. You have no clue about how accounting works.
NFL salary cap management could be used as a case study in how to "cook the books" in an above board fashion.
I guarantee your accountant does some book cooking every spring. Well, maybe not because you likely can just file the EZ way and get your refund to pay for the extended warranty on your fifteen year old Ford Escort.
Hell, you probably still owe five k on that Escort which would make you "upside down" on it. You know.... exactly like a team that signs a player to a four year contract, pays the entirety of that contract in those four years but still has two years left before they are clear of the loan from the lender.
It's clear you are not bright enough to understand the nuances of analogies so before you start telling me that the Cowboys didn't have to actually borrow cash to pay the player, get someone to explain it to you.
How's the warranty situation on that Escort? I can set you up with a great deal on an extension. How about a four year 80000 mile extension for only 50 dollars a month for six years?
FYI. I'm tagging you with the nickname, Chubby. Nobody does the twist better since Chubby Checkers.
