If player is a no show, retires, or just leaves then the bonus will be pro-rated for the amount of years played, over 5 years total. Player will have to give back that portion already paid. After 5 years playing then player keeps entire signing bonus. If injury forces an early retirement and is verifiable, get to keep entire bonus.

This may be a case-by-case, team-by-team basis? Depend on the round? Not sure....

I read of a player that had to give up half of his bonus after quitting after his first season to go to football. (This may have been negotiated).

Another, pay back half of the bonus if he doesn't stick for 3 years.

I am pretty sure the "plane ticket" guys get to keep the full amount. (later rounds; 4th-5th year players that get $1000, etc)
