So today while responding to another thread I looked up the forehead on overthecap.com and saw something interesting in his contract....Incentives of $2 million for an AFC Championship and another $2 million for a Super Bowl win.

So here is the question....How do those incentives fit into the cap? If paid, do they retroactively become part of this years cap or do they get pushed to the next year?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I honestly just don't know.

I'm really curious about this because I've always felt incentive clauses were never used enough in NFL contracts.
