Fwiw, they can move other money around to make the difference between 5.2 mil vs. 2.6 + 2.6 mil negligible.
It can be as easy taking the way you spread another players signing bonus around and moving 2.6 mil off the books this year and onto 2022, thus leaving the totals exactly the same as if you cut Geno Atkins post June 1st.
Also, if they trade Geno those cap hits don't come off the books. That dead cap comes the way of his signing bonus, which does not transfer over to another team. Cut or trade, those numbers remain the same.
