Then, they would either have a relief of 3.2 or 2.8 (can't remember) for this season, so he would only count 2.8 or 3.2 this year. If he's gonna be a headache, $3 million is nothing against the cap to get rid of him.
After that, he would no longer count against the cap. He'd be off the books after this year.

I see what you are saying, but it does not sound right.
The remaining signing bonus money he is owed is in the range of 8 mill, and if traded it is lump sum and counts against the cap.
