Thanks for keeping this updated Schneed.
So on Richardson, does the 6M dead money all accelerate to this season?

Exactly, yeah. So the net savings on the cap this year is only $2.5M. You have to eat the $6M in dead cap, but you get rid of $8.5M in salary, hence net $2.5M savings.

Addition by subtraction, irrespective of the cap impact. This makes room for a 4th round rookie or some such who could occupy the roster spot and actually contribute something even if only on teams.
