Usually, it seems that the opposite is true, that you save by cutting earlier.
Regardless, now that Dre is in the fold, I hope he is released. I don't even want him around for OTA...this team has had tremendous turnover this year and I would like to see new, younger leaders emerge.
True - but they could cut him now and designate him as a June 1 cut, which would allow the team to realize the savings while cutting him immediately.

Well, every dollar not spent just sits in Mike Brown's bank account.

There isn't. It's a rolling 4 year amount. Teams don't have to spend to a certain amount each year, they just have to hit the rolling number every year.
