It depends on how likely the incentive is to be reached. If it’s a very likely incentive (make the opening day roster, be healthy for x amount of games), then the rule is the team needs to have that amount of cap space available during the season for when he meets it.I have a question. How to incentive-laden contracts work with the salary cap? How do we know a team is under the cap when the actually amounts it has to pay out remain to be seen based on performance? Or is the cap made on maximum-possible payouts of those kinds of contracts?
If it’s a less likely incentive (reach 4000 yards passing, team wins NFCCG), then you don’t have to have the cap space reserved that year, as the incentive will impact the next year’s cap
