His cap hit was almost 4.8 million, that dead money was paid to Gio in bonuses to him to work in future years. They saved 4.1 million so simple, add the dead money to the 4.1 million and close to 4.8 million 2021 cap hit prior to cutting him.

Name one back up RB who has or had a 4.8 million cap hit.

White - Pats is no
Fournette is no
Murray from Saints is no
Lindsay for Broncos is no

In fact, there are starting RB's who don't have a cap hit of 4.8 million.

Yet, our starting guards have cap hit of around 4 million in 2020 and so far in 2021.
How is a back up RB more valuable than an OG who takes every snap?
I bet he gets no more than 2,5 to 3 million in 2021, if so we were 100% correct to ask him to take a huge pay cut.
