They only eat the bonuses already paid (i.e. signing bonus) so they'd be on the hook for $19.5 million.

His salary is minimal this year, which would be advantageous to KC.

The snag for Carolina really would only be that they have not accounted for 14.625 of that 19.5 on this year's cap and they only have 10.1 million in space with nobody they can restructure to take on the 4.5 million balance. About the only thing they could do is also trade or cut Mayfield.

I think that $14.5 or so hits next year, does it not? Only this season's bonus money hits this year - the remainder hits next year.

So they accelerate a bit to this year, but it's an amount already included in their pool. The remainder hits on next year's cap, IIRC.
