When I calculated the cap hit I DID include "Other Bonus" I'll break it out.
2025:
Base: $1.255M
Prorated Signing Bonus: $14.76M
Other Bonus: $3.7M
To calculate what the new team will be hit with, I understand it as you add the Base+Other Bonus and the Prorated Signing Bonus stays with old team: $1,22M+$3.7M=$4.96M
2026:
Base: $1.3M
Prorated Signing Bonus: $10.625M
Other Bonus: $8.45M
New team cap hit: $1.3+$8.45M=$9.75M
Again I could be totally wrong
