Re: 2008 Rookie Bonuses
 

Can someone remind me how this works? We take the bonus amount and add that to the 2007 salary and then add the 10% correct? I want to make sure that I have this right so my numbers will match the league numbers. Thanks.

Re: 2008 Rookie Bonuses
 

No, these are added to the 2008 salary after the 10% raise to the 2007 salary.

So, if Player A had a 500 salary in 2007, and received a 100 cb bonus, their 2008 salary would be 500 + 10% (50) + 100 = 650.

Thanks for clarifying.

Re: 2008 Rookie Bonuses
 

According to my calculations, the following players don't receive their full bonuses because they've maxed-out (please correct me if I'm wrong):

Demeco Ryans, Vibe, 231 (LB4, 2.11)
781 (2008 salary)
+ 231 (bonus)
- 172 (over bonus max)
= 840 (new 2008 salary)

Bernie Pollard, Predators, 50 (DB13, 4.08)
224 (2008 salary)
+ 50 (bonus)
- 24 (over bonus max)
= 250 (new 2008 salary)

Darrell Revis, Wallace Clan, 37 (DB17, 4.01)
242 (2008 salary)
+ 37 (bonus)
- 29 (over bonus max)
= 250 (new 2008 salary)

Roman Harper, Clowns, 24 (DB3, 6.08)
121 (2008 salary)
+ 24 (bonus)
- 20 (over bonus max)
= 125 (new 2008 salary)


Also the following player's bonus does not apply as his 10% raise takes him over his bonus max (again correct me if I'm wrong):

Kirk Morrison, Predators, 32 (LB9, 6.05)
280 (2008 salary)
