That's what I thought (I said workout bonus; roster bonus is the same).
A standard signing bonus, as I understand it, is amortized. However, if you want the same impact accelerated onto this year's cap, you'd call it a roster bonus or a workout bonus.
I've seen nothing to suggest that this is how the Chiefs structured it. Frankly, it'd be a little crazy to do so given the flat cap.
