$3.7 mil cal hit. Saves over $2 mil.

Salary at $2 mil + $1.6 signing bonus (which is the dead cap number). We'd save the salary but have to pay his pro-rated signing bonus.

Salary and cap hits are not the same thing.

Edit: Of course, cap savings and actually saving money are not necessarily the same thing, either.
