Darius Slay, Philadelphia Eagle

His June 1st release clears up $17 million which I'd take over a 5th. Howie probably spoke to his agent about an extension/rework to minimize his cap hit, Slay probably thinks he's worth $20 million a year at 32...so Howie said go find a trade so Slay could assess his market value. I think he either reworks or becomes a June 1st release.

Trade and cut do the same thing for the Eagles cap, so they'd take a 5th if they can get it (and they probably cannot). Either way he's $14M of dead money in 2024 which is less than ideal.

Nope

Pre June 1st trade or cut they save $3 million in cap and carry $22 million dead cap space. Post June 1st trade or cut they save $17 million in cap space with $8 million dead cap.

Nope to you. Pre June 1, it's $22M in dead cap in 2023. Post June 1, it's $8M in dead cap in 2023, and $14M in 2024 like I said.

Post June 1st cut/trade his 2024 dead cap is $5,361,000 with $8 million cap savings

You're not reading that chart correctly man. That $5,361,000 is if he's a post-June 1 2024 cut, not the 2024 dead cap if he's a post June 1 2023 cut.

If they get rid of him this offseason via cut or trade, it's $21-$22M in dead money no matter what. That's his dead cap number. Pre and post June 1, the only change is whether it's all a 2023 hit or if it is spread over 2023-2024.

Spotrac has slightly different numbers.
Post June 1 2023 cut:
2023 dead cap: 9.255M
2024 dead cap: 12.01M

Pre June 1 2023 cut:
2023 dead cap: 21.265M
2024 dead cap: 0

Sportrac shows his 2024 cap hit at $5 million. Post June 1st matters for both years...there's void/rollover years because the nfl cap isn't a hard cap. Cap savings is the number you're not taking into account. I started writing a summary of a fictional contract but my numbers are off and I really don't care that much to do a breakdown.
