As far as I'm aware, when figuring out the CAP HIT, you have to include the signing bonus, which is generally stretched out over the length of the contract. So we'd essentially be adding an additional $3+ million per season ($20m divided by 6 years) to the $13m salary.
Can only spread a bonus over 5; so take the $58 million in salary, guarantee $20 of it (the remaining $20 mil gtd is the bonus) and spread that out over 6 years however you see fit, then add $4 mil/season to the first 5 seasons for the total cap hit.
