You can designate a player as a "post-June 1" cut, even though you cut him prior. This allows the player to be ahead of the curve on landing with a team in free agency, as opposed to trying to catch on right before training camp.

However, it still spreads the dead money over two years instead of one.

You can't do it with everyone though. Pretty sure it's just one guy.
