Another team wouldn't pick up his contract and/or guaranteed money if we traded him?

I do admit that the money side of the NFL is a bit out of my lane. I don't understand a bunch of the cap things, which I should really study myself up to have a coherent conversation about it.

But if you say so, then NO WAY...we can't afford a cap hit like that one.

The way it works is if a team cuts or trades a player, all guaranteed money, signing bonus etc accelerates to the year of the deal. You can spread it over 2 seasons if its after June 1st.

The league wouldn't even allow it since it would put us 16 million over the cap this year.
