its the same at retiring or being cut. full signing bonus comes due (which was minimal) and yearly salaries are canned. Taylor got most of his bonus money up front though, so i think the hit is only like 2mill.

If dan wanted to, he could try to get part of the bonus back from taylor's family, but he won't.

Everett wouldn't count here because the insurance would step in there somewhere. Although I see your point about losing a player.
