Ya nowadays it's almost impossible to have no dead money. Any player signed to a long term contract will inevitably lead to a "Dead Money Hit" when that player is released/traded down the road. The keys are to keep this DMH to a minimum and more importantly make sure these DMHs don't overlap (ie occur in the same year) whenever possible.

I think the Skins have been doing a good job lately in both areas.
