G_Man,
I had always thought that a release after June 1st, held the cap hit that season to the bonus portion of that season. Then the remaining portion(s) of the bonus accelerated to the next season.
So, Williams cap hit in 2000, if we were to release him before Sept. 3(new rule, vets receive [b]entire[/b] season salary if on opening day roster) is $933K, and 2001 cap hit is remaining 4yrs bonus accelerated into one, painful $3.7M (4x933K) hit! Adam's tip seems to support this. I was REALLY hoping you were right here, and the cap hit is [b]split[/b] between this year and next, roughly $2.4M in 2000 and 2001, each. Still painful, but not as drastic.
