Contract structure

If an entry-level contract has performance bonuses, the first $850K (up to $1M for players drafted in 2022) are "A" bonuses, and the remainder (to a maximum of another $2M or $2.5M for players drafted in 2022 or later) are "B" Bonuses.  For example:

-If a contract has $1.1M in bonuses, the first $850K are "A" bonuses, and the remaining $250K are "B"

-If a contract has $500K in bonuses, they are all "A" bonuses.  The player would get $212,500 each for the first 2 items achieved, and then $75,000 if a 3rd item is achieved.
