It is $26 million dead cap but split over 2 seasons at $13 it is more manageable and saves $9 million on the cap for 2023.

Yes you are just putting off the $13 dead cap into 2024, but if the 22 draft class actually makes some off season improvements and the 23 draft class has a few hits, the team would have the flexibility to manage it.

Post June 1 cut would result in 21 mil (16 salary+5 bonus)  dead in 2023 and 5 mil (bonus) dead in 2024. You end up only saving 1 mil cap for 2023
If trying to move on from Cam then a post 6/1 trade would be best:
2023 Dead Cap: $5,000,000
2024 Dead Cap: $5,000,000
2023 Cap Savings: $17,117,638

vs

Pre 6/1 trade:
2023 Dead Cap: $10,000,000
2023 Cap Savings: $12,117,638


So essentially we will see Cam traded or his Salary gets restructured into bonuses. I think both parties would be fine restructuring the salary since its guaranteed anyways
