10 million comes off the books (Giants cap) but 6.4 mil prorated accelerates into this year, which is the last 4 years of his 8 mil signing bonus (1.6m per year over 5 years).
The math: 2018 cap hit = 11.6 million (3m base, 7m roster, 1.6m prorated) minus 6.4 get you a 5.2 savings or 10 million minus 4.8m last 3 years of prorated (year 2 already on the books) still gets you 5.2 million savings.
BUT the real reason for trading him, 29 million goes back on the books over the next 3 years to be used on AD.
