So what cap does it free up this year and how hard is the hit for next?

frees up 100K this year and 12.1 million in dead money next year.

Ouch! He must of been a real cancer if they are willing to eat 12.1 million in 2016 and lose 12 sacks a year. So that puts us up to roughly 155 million next year with out top 53. Wonder what the cap line will be......

Which in my opinion is why it was the right decision.

You do not flush that much money down the toilet unless you are 100% positive that it is without question the correct decision, from Benson all the way down the chain of command.

My guess is even the waterboys wanted his ass gone. And if our own Saintfan got his wish and was employed as a waterboy, he'd agree too.
