He has a $500K roster bonus that will be paid unless he is cut by 4 PM today. Additionally, his base salary is $3M.
By cutting him, the bills could save $3.5M against the cap. He would count as $500K in dead money.
Johnson started 11 games last year, but one would think that he will be a backup DT in the Bills 4-3 defense. Though Wanny likes to rotate his big guys to keep them fresh, one would think the Bills would at least approach Johnson about a pay-cut. If he refuses, they probably could cut him.
If he doesn't get cut today, one would think the Bills are going to keep him. Why pay $500K to cut him later?
