This board would melt down if we did that. It’s infinitely better to simply pay them higher cap hits so that you can get them off the books clean/minimal damage rather than paying guys to not play for you.

Anyone who thinks dead money doesn’t matter look at the Broncos. Richest owners in the league by far and they couldn’t spend on FA’s this year bc of Russell Wilson’s enormous dead money.

So it’s the signing bonus that is being pushed to the void years only? And also looks like post June 1 releases then allows the team to split that remaining signing bonus over 2 years instead of 1.

Am I reading this correctly?
