GTripp is correct.
Brandon Lloyd was an example, we already released him, allowing him to sign on with the Bears (have fun, Lovie), but he was designated a post-June 1 move, allowing us to spread his dead cap money over two seasons.
Each NFL team can do this with up to two players per season. This is a rule adopted into the most recent version of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
In other words, if any June 1 casualties were going to hit, they've already been released from their teams.
Besides, few teams are in dire need of cap relief. There just aren't June 1 casualties like there used to be.
