have you not been paying attention to how many contracts where restructured into bonus money and just paid in front as a lump sum?

Tyson Jackson, Flowers, Succup, then all the guys we cut that we still have to pay money, plus the current guys on the cap, plus all the other bonuses

probably close to 140-150 million in spending
