They don't eat his guaranteed salaries in future years.
They only eat the bonuses already paid (i.e. signing bonus) so they'd be on the hook for $19.5 million.
His salary is minimal this year, which would be advantageous to KC.
The snag for Carolina really would only be that they have not accounted for 14.625 of that 19.5 on this year's cap and they only have 10.1 million in space with nobody they can restructure to take on the 4.5 million balance. About the only thing they could do is also trade or cut Mayfield. [Reply]

Once they fire and blow out the staff (they will sooner than later, they're terrible and Rhule will go back to college) they can cut Mayfield and that's when the firesale would theoretically start. [Reply]
