I also wanted to bring up buyouts.

Signing bonuses are "buyout proof"

I believe buyout payments count as part of players 50% of HRR and thus cause escrow increases. Can anyone confirm?

Buyout payments count against the cap.

I don't know if buyout payments are subject to escrow withholding. Can anyone confirm?
