Not necessarily. As I understand it, his contract amount (963k) counts against our cap as a hold but we simply have his rights and a rookie exception to spend over the cap to sign him between now and draft day 2013.
Of course, he isnt going back to college and he isnt finishing a euro contract so he'll be on the roster next season but he hasn't formally inked his deal yet.
I just thought it was interesting that Crowder was the first one to sign a deal when Cunningham was the first rounder guaranteed a spot.
