I think not 100% sure
My understanding is that things like completion/roster bonuses can kinda 'skirt' the 30% rule as they are not included in the computation of the 30% increase. EDIT: It appears that signing bonuses aren't calculated, but roster bonuses are. In either event, there are guaranteed dollars that can be given, generally up front, that aren't counted into the 30% rule and thus don't violate it.

Besides, Carr and Flowers were on substantially similar base contracts. Yeah, Flowers was a little more, but not exorbitantly so as a 2nd rounder. I don't believe Flowers contract would've complied with the 30% rule and his was inked in-season.

Why would extending Carr have violated it whereas extending Flowers didn't?
