I'm not sure where you're getting the $8 million, but I believe your number is incorrect.

When looking at the dead cap, this is what it's listed if you cut Atkins in 2021 vs 2022:
2021 - $5.2 mill ($2.6 mill guaranteed in 2021 + $2.6 mill guaranteed in 2022)
2022 - $2.6 mill

So if he's cut in 2021, these numbers are not added. What essentially happens is his entire remaining guaranteed money ($5.2 mill) is given in that year. So they would take the $5.2 mill dead cap in 2021 but have nothing remaining to pay Atkins in 2022.

As such, if Atkins is cut in 2021, here are the cap savings by year:
2021 - $9.6 mill
2022 - $16.05 mill
