I thought it was all the original team since it was guaranteed by that team.
IF traded that is worked out by the teams.. Like Baker Mayfield the Browns are paying most of it and the Panthers got him to redo his remaining contract for less...
So that can be done but we would have to give something in return like a higher draft pick etc...
But unless he agrees to change contract someone has to pay
Usually the remainer of a contract goes to a new team not sure when his Guaranteed was paid
