According to Over The Cap, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will pay Connor Barth $500,000 of his $2.3 million base salary this season. The kicker is listed on the Non-Football Injury list and will not play this season after tearing his Achilles in a charity basketball game during the offseason. The Buccaneers could have refused to pay any of the kicker's salary, but that would have reflected poorly on the organization. In addition, Over The Cap claims the Buccaneers have converted $1.15 million of his base salary for next season to per-game 53-man roster bonuses to create cap space. Incentives like that are only counted against the cap before they're paid if the player reached that performance level the year before. Source: SBNation.com
