There would definitely be a credit some where. I think he's saying it's $1 mil extra in 2012, and then if he exercises, there's a $1 cap credit in 2013 (although we'd still owe the remaining amortized SB deadcap, so $2.25 million - $1 million in cap credit).

I'm suggesting that while what he says makes sense, I think that there would probably be an offsetting clause for purposes of the 2012 cap. If this was going to cost the Redskins 1/9 of their remaining cap space in 2012, it would have made more sense to just make next year (2013) voidable with no buyback.
