4.5 Mill dead cap space for Dunlap and 7.8 for Geno.

Greens contract is 100% guaranteed, so we gain nothing by cutting him.

Creating dead cap space is fine. It would happen whether cut now or in the offseason.
Would cutting now save any additional money compared to cutting in the offseason?
That's what I am asking.

I would think so because the amount they would be paid the rest of this year would still be higher than their dead cap, right?
