Cap Question

Not that I think that this should or would happen (ok, maybe should), but I have a question. Brunell is scheduled to make 3.4 million this year with a 7.1 million dollar release fee. He is scheduled to make 5.4 million next year. If we were to cut him after June first, wouldn't the release fee be applied to next years cap, resulting in 3.4 million in additional cap space this year while only resulting in 1.7 million in dead space (7.1 cap hit - 5.4 million in salary savings) next year? Is it just me, or does this sound like a good plan to anyone else. After June 1st, drop him like Rod Gardner drops passes. Draft a QB late in the draft to be our 3rd stringer and let Timmy be the backup. Then, we can use the 3.4 million this year to sign some defensive line help after the June 1st cuts.
