Redskins make a D-line contract change, gain roster flexibility | NBC Sports Washington

"he Redskins and the player agreed to remove the full guarantee of the 2018 salary and change it to an injury-only guarantee."

"If McClain loses out in the battle for a roster spot in training camp releasing him would save about $3.4 million in 2018 cap space. However, there would be a dead cap charge of $2.5 million in 2019. If his salary had remained fully guaranteed his departure would have caused a net cap charge of about $2 million."

a net savings of $0.9 million over two years. paying whoever takes his place on the roster (even at the league minimum) would cost more than that. They must have had a VERY low opinion of him.

No, we are saving 3,5M this year, and still quite a lot in 2019, 2,5M dead cap is less than what we'd had paid him if he stayed here. His contract was more than 5M/y.
