I am pretty sure retirement acts just like a waiver in that the salary cap hit gets accelerated. The only way to take a smaller cap hit is for him to retire from the roster after June 1 (same as a post June 1 cut).

Also, the Skins can't make Bruce retire, he has to file the paperwork with the league office (I think date of retirement affects pension, benefits, etc.). From what I have read Bruce is still thinking about playing somewhere this upcoming season.
