Could they add a year to his contract and spread out the 15 million that's left over 2 years? He played a bit at the end of the season but didn't play in the playoffs at all really.
Just wondering as he hasn't been cut yet. Probably just waiting to sign a replacement I suppose.
No.
Avoiding a $5 mil dead cap hit by taking a $16 mil cap hit is the definition of cutting iff your nose to spite your face. It makes no financial sense. We save $10.9 by cutting him (minus whatever his replacement costs).
