Part of our disagreement here has to do with the definition of pay cut in the funny math world of NFL salaries and caps.
The way most agents and players see it, non-guaranteed money isn't real. The only money that is real are guaranteed $$.
One thing that is not allowed is for a player to give back bonus money that has already been paid as part of a restructure (the Lavar situation where he essentially bought his way out was different).

right, lavar gave up 2007 bonus money he hadn't been paid. so when he got cut, dan cut a 1.5mill check instead of a bigger one.
BUT in that no cba world, brunell did actually give back money, cause otherwise it would have been impossible for him to meet the 30% rule with a straight base salary -> SB deal and get anywhere REMOTELY close to the 1.8mill savings they claimed.
