It counts. As does the salary of the guy that's going to replace him on the active roster now. It's pretty much a double dick punch.

And yeah, they could injury settle with him but he has no obligation to do it. Why would he take anything less than he's owed? He was hurt during the game so unless he's willing to just write off half of it to Clark, it's going to be the same amount against the cap even if it's called an injury settlement.

Now he was charged with about 400K in LTBE, per game incentives. I'm guessing since the IR will mean he's not playing again, the Chiefs can get the league to change those incentives to call them UTBE and that would take the incentives off the cap at least.

But otherwise, this is pretty much a worst case scenario and completely blows.
