Could someone clarify his March 1st bonus? Based on this comment from the link, it sounded kind of iffy. Does Ottawa have to pay this?

"The Tate deal shows that when a player negotiates a contractual bonus with the team, it would be wise to insist on contractual language to the effect that: If you are released within 180 days of the due date of a contractual bonus, the bonus becomes due and payable. The Tate deal lets the team off the hook for a bonus that would have been due on March 1st. Unless the team has paid the bonus as a matter of good faith, the perception is a PR nightmare."
