This really isn't accurate, as the only way we only save 4.5 mil would require immense incompetence by the people in charge.  As in, we cut him within the next month without designating him a post-June 1st cut and then no other team signs him.  Neither of those is happening.

If he's cut with the post-June 1st designation (or we just hold on to him then cut him after) it's a saving of almost 10 mil this season.  He also has offsets in his contract, so we'd be looking at a savings of roughly 15 mil, depending on how much he gets with another team.
