EDIT: Never mind. It looks like they can make interst on it. So I guess it's not that bad for the player. Wonder how it works for taxes.

If they get interest paid on the amount, it is counted as it's full nominal value for cap hit.
The cap hit is a pretty decent representation of what the contract is actually worth to the player, so it really isn't a big deal one way or another.
