Bruce Bowen... if waived... TK count?

As we've discussed already...Bowen's trade kicker made his 09-10 Salary jump from $4,000,000 to $4,100,000. His 09-10 season is only $2,000,000 guarnateed. I was just wondering if that jump in Trade Kicker salary also would jump his guarantee. LIke if he was waived today, would the amount he'd count against the cap be $2,000,000 still or $2,100,000? My guess is $2,000,000 but I have no reference where it would come from.

The trade kicker is spread evenly over the amount of guaranteed salary, so it'd be $2.1 mil.

This is my understanding as well, Sham.

Speaking of which, Amir Johnson's 09-10 cap number should be $3,941,667 rather than the $4,216,667 that you list on your site. It looks like you added the entire TK to his 09-10 salary rather than splitting it among 08-09 and 09-10.

I am 90% sure on this, but this is one particular topic where I tend to 2nd guess myself, so if someone else could ease my mind with some confirmation here, that would be appreciated.

That would appear to have been exactly what I've done. Bit of a headfreak there. Will tidy it up.
