Every season of the contract thus far has ended up with him getting performance-based enhancers because of his playing time. But logic says he had to have taken a pay cut. He was due to make $3.8 million with minimal dead money
The odds are this means he is likely to be on the team

Re-negotiated the contract of G Cordell Volson.
I was wondering if the performance bonus counts against the cap because that's probably the money he's handing back. As in, maybe he's less of a cut risk without the raise he earned. Either way, his actual performance earned him a paycut which further defeats the old quote from I believe Mike Brown years ago equating draft success with playing time. Like if we play crappy players it means they're good.
They wanted to get ahead of the program by "making" a mid round pick at least a fringe starter at a position of need, hoping that he breaks out. At least now, they've got one more year of sunken cost fallacy at less cost. I'm not mad at him being on the roster as the 9th guy for cheap.
