Turner over Moses???

Cordy Glenn has struggled with injuries for years, has a $9.5 million cap number, will turn 31 in September and had similar injury-chemistry problems in Buffalo before the Bills were happy to unload his contract via trade.

Guard Trai Turner on the other is 26-year-old, will be just 27 by the start of training camp, has been to five straight Pro Bowls, and has two years remaining on the four-year, $45 million contract he signed with Carolina back in 2017.
His cap hit does bump up to nearly $13 million for 2020 and balloons to $15.4 million in 2021, so that could be part of the reason why the Panthers are allegedly looking to cut bait.
Question for the Cap experts on this site:, if the Panthers $13 million cap number in 2020 for Turner is broken down to $8.5 million in base salary and $3.9 Millions in prorated bonus, how much of that goes to the new team? The entire thing ro just the base salary? Cause $8.5 Million is not terrible for 27 year old five time probowler, $13 million is too much.
