Austin's original contract called for him to get a $5M roster bonus on March 16 that was fully guaranteed.
His new contract, according to Jason La Canfora, gives Austin a $4M bonus, a $1M salary, and up to $3M in incentives. So if Austin is traded his new team would be on the hook for his salary and any incentives but not the $4M bonus. (The Rams have already paid it, and that $4M would be dead money against the 2018 cap.)
So it's now 4 M either way, not 5.
But also, didn't he tear up the rest of his contract? It's now a 1 year?
I think it is and that means that all the cap sites online are wrong to count him against the 2019 and 2020 caps.
