Basically, I am asking if this 30 million is only allowed for one year. That would make sense, and kind of makes you use it on 1 year contracts I would think.

If you wanted to bring in a free agent on a long term deal, you could set him up with easily attainable performance bonuses that hit in that first year, or perhaps a huge roster bonus that gets paid if he's on the roster the first week of the season.

I would guess there's a number of imaginable ways to structure ot so the big hit in this year.
