Forgive my stupidity, but if you don't get a signing bonus WHEN YOU SIGN what's the purpose of a signing bonus? I had just assumed the $40 mil was to cover the salary gap between the rookie contract and the extension, and that he would get that check immediately....

Well, it's a name not a description. Think of what your first name means. (Mine means "brave king." ) Is it a description? Names don't work like descriptions.

In fact many rookie contracts stipulate that the player does not get the bonus until after the season. He gets the bonus FOR signing. Not necessarily WHEN he signs.
