Over the Cap is saying his contract was fully guaranteed, but spotrac is showing $10.3 million was guaranteed (signing bonus + 2021 salary + 2022 salary) meaning we could save his 2023 salary of $2,429,720 if we cut him.

I'm not sure which is correct.

Spotrac in the notes also says Fully Guaranteed, so I don't think they have it right. I saw an article somewhere before the draft that projected him on the team only because his salary is guaranteed this year. If it really isn't then the $1.8 dead cap wouldn't prevent his release IMO.

I didn't pay attention to the full notes. Spotrac seems to be contradicting itself a bit.
The full notes say:

Contract Notes:

• $10.3 million guaranteed (signing bonus + 2021 salary + 2022 salary)
  
• Fully Guaranteed
  
• 5th-year option available
  

I don't know if the second bullet point was supposed to apply to the 5th year option because I have read elsewhere, " The fifth-year option for Chaisson was a fully guaranteed $12.141 million for 2024."


Spotrac also shows the breakdown for 2023 season as:

Pre-6/1 Release 2023 Dead Cap: $1,816,293 2023 Cap Savings: $2,429,720
Pre-6/1 Trade 2023 Dead Cap: $1,816,293 2023 Cap Savings: $2,429,720
Post-6/1 Release 2023 Dead Cap: $1,816,293 2024 Dead Cap: $0 2023 Cap Savings: $2,429,720
Post-6/1 Trade 2023 Dead Cap: $1,816,293 2024 Dead Cap: $0 2023 Cap Savings: $2,429,720

I can't find a third source for the breakdown of the contract. I did find an article talking about it that said it was fully guaranteed, but they referenced Over the Cap as their source.

If 2023 salary isn't actually guaranteed, I would value the cap space. If it is, we might as well keep him for depth/special teams unless some players can beat him out at OLB during TC/preseason because as of right now, he still is our 3rd best OLB option.
