Nnivolcm Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Quote Detroit converted the remaining $1.335 million of Vaitai’s 2021 base salary into an immediate signing bonus. With the way the bonus amortizes over the remaining three seasons on Vaitai’s five-year deal, the move frees up $1 million in cap room for the rest of this season. It bumps up the contractual hit on Vaitai’s deal to just over $302,000 for each remaining year. https://lionswire.usatoday.com/2021/12/28/lions-restructure-halapoulivaati-vaitai-contract-salary-cap-room-savings/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was an interesting quote in the article. I was not aware of this. I hope to see a lot more of this from other players as the team is going to be getting a lot younger over the next couple of years.
