False.
According to Spotrac, he's owed the following for 2018:
$4.55 mill in base salary
$1.125 mill in signing bonus
$200k for roster bonus
$250k for workout bonus

What are these escalators you speak of? Because it looks like he'd still get at minimum $5.675 mill with base salary and signing bonus. Too much for what contribution he gives.
If he's cut, the only dead cap is his signing bonus.
