[QUOTE="GreenBaySlacker, post: 1092230, member: 9780"] The way I understand it, is the signing bonus is up front, pre-paid guaranteed money in his original contract, due at signing. But spread out over the duration of the contract. That money is what is dead cap, if GB decides to move on in any way, before the contract of done. What I read on "over the cap" is 2026 $28mil salary, has roughly has $17mil dead, and $11 mil of salary saved, we wouldn't have to pay. 2027 is a salary of additional $31mil... $8.5 mil of which is dead cap we have to pay in 2026, if we drop him before 6/1... And the salary we don't have to pay shows $22mil and some change. Or savings.... So the $17 mil dead for 26, and the $8.5m dead for 27 equals a total of $25.5mil dead if we trade or cut him now. That would all come off our 2026 salary cap if the move is done before 6/1. Meaning out of his $28m currently owed on the books for 2026. $25.5 mil of that would be burnt up in dead cap space.... Unless we spread the debt out post 6/1, and split the dead cap to $13m/yr for 26, and $13 for 27... $11 mil cap space returned in 26, and $22 mil cap space returned for 27. In salary we don't have to pay. But if we cover the entire $25.5 dead cap pre-6/1 in a trade or cut. That means 2027 is free and clear. All $31mil for 2027 would be free and clear. $17 dead for 26, and $8.5m dead for 27 is both dead. Not $8.5m dead each 26 and 27. splitting $17m between 26 and 27. It's a total of roughly $25.5 dead.
