Im confident that Nasiah is getting the majority of his contract now.

I shared that exerpt they wrote about Battle when he left the Saints.

They didnt attract anyone of quality which means had he signed on at a fairly sizable contract lets say 1 million this season, that would likely account for an underspend.  If it was more of that, they can very much start paying Nasiah his 2 million per season now.  Thats all well and good for him and the club, but TDK will eventually become a boat anchor weighing down on the list as his team mates start wondering, where is my mega pay deal (particularly if he isnt as durable).

Was reported TDK is getting a 2mil 'signing bonus' up front. That would be a good 'trick' to fill some cap space quickly and save yourself some $'s long term.

I suspect him and NAS have front ended contracts to fill the gap in salary cap SOS created, and anyone else coming in will help flesh out the cap later on.

This attribution to sos is false. 

Why has he created a gap in their cap? 

Im curious.  There's a lot of SOS did this going on, but I reckon you'd have a hard time finding his salary dumps.  Battle left.  Thats the gap.

I think EB said that Marshall is on F all the next two years, was heavily front loaded, that's why they won't release him.
Suck a steaming dog $$$$ sniffers...if Marshall wants out, he'll get out.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Its impossible to know exactly who did what and when.

SOS has history of doing this as a list manager and its no real stretch to suggest he's done it again.
Was part of it in play before he got there? Absolutely, there'd be some contracts in play already that he inherited.

Maybe its simply that, as we well know, SOS is a stubborn bastard and maybe he simply gets players to sign on for less.
I've thrown up about 10 different things that any club can do at any time....yet these only seem to happen at clubs SOS is in charge of. Purely a coincidence? Possibly. More likely to be his influence than not though.
