We save 9.6 million.
Fwiw, here's something that I think people don't realize when they look at dead cap on sites like Spotrac:
They'll see he carries 9.6 mil in dead cap in 2021, and 2.6 in 2022, and they assume we;ll be hit with both amounts if we cut bait now. That's not true. Those figues represent the amount if the player is cut that specific year.
The reason his dead cap is higher in 2021 is because we'd be taking on both years, and all of the dead cap in a single year.
So, if we cut bait now, it means we're free clear after 2021. 9.6 mil freed up in 2021, and 16.05 mil in 2022. It would essentially cost us an addition 2.6 million dollars in dead cap to part ways in 2021 vs. 2022.
I probably just made this way more confusing that I needed to, but hopefully it somewhat makes sense.
