Yes. That's why you can always fit a high dollar free agent under your cap in the short run. But eventually you have to pay the piper (or carry them on your roster until they're long past washed up). When you cut them, whatever portion of the original bonus that hasn't counted against the cap in past years, suddenly hits the cap all at once, more or less.
