Well, how much of the contract was signing bonus? roster bonus? workout bonus? game base pay/that year's base pay?

Having the contract structured in that way gives team greater flexibility in getting contracts under the salary cap...

For example, if we moved Armstead, short of him doing a sign and trade, that first season we still take the hit his base of the calender year he's moved, then signing bonus could be accelerated into that year...

That's why trades are so difficult outside of the NFL Draft...
