They only pay him that is he does NOT clear waivers. If they pick him up off the waiver wire, then they factor that amount in.

If no one claims him off waivers by COB today, then he is a free agent, that money goes away and contract negotiations begin anew.

I do not see him getting a deal for anything more than this year though. IF a player is on your week 1 roster, you are on the hook for his salary for the entire league year. Even if he is released in week 2.

By signing him to a one year deal (after week 1 of the regular season is in the books), if he does not work out, they can release him and not sustain any hit to the future cap,
