If he retires from a cap standpoint his bonus actually accelerates so we take the cap hit just like he was cut. In terms of recouping of money, that is money which is different than cap. Remember, the cap is not actual dollars spent it is a system for accounting for value but not year to year cash. We could go after a proration of his signing bonus, but even if we did the team saves nothing in cap. It is up to the team to recoup and I would guess they would, but it does nothing for us in terms of cap space.
