Archuleta traded to Bears for 6th round pick

I remember reading somewhere that if we cut Archuleta, the cap penalty will drop by however much his new signing bonus is. It says it in his contract. It's either that or the fact that if we don't take the option bonus, his next three years of base salary become guaranteed. But then the base salary goes to the bears in the trade so we don't have to pay it. Is that right?
