No, we would (will?) save $10M, which is the value of his base salary plus option bonus. He has no future guaranteed money to accelerate, so there is no extra cap hit.RollTide said:

What about his pro rated signing bonus? We can't just eliminate all that by dumping a guy. According to the nfl players association we only save $4.4M.

That's right. But that's the other $13M that he'll count either way. Normally future cap dollars from guaranteed money is accelerated when a player gets cut, but McNair's contract runs out after 2006 anyway so there is no money to accelerate.RollTide said:
That's from back before they declined his $50M option bonus. When they declined that, the future money all rolled into this year (into the $23M cap figure).
