By trading Nata they saved $8.5M in cap space for his his salary and received 2 draft picks for a player that wouldn't renegotiate and were going to lose anyway even though he counted as $7.5M in dead money. If they kept him he would counted $16M towards their cap instead of $7.5M. Point being the Bengals don't need to put a single dollar aside for potential dead money as Hobson wrote.
So the Ravens got s player to replace Ngata who played for free?
if you cut a player that creates dead money you still have to pay another player to replace him.
