Yeap there is. It's a 35+ contract. Sign a player to one of these and your on the hook for his entire cap hit even if he retires before it expires.

Cap recapture is different, its set up to penalize teams for front loading contracts and lowering the overall cap hit by adding years at the end with a very low salary.
