The Redskins could cut him after one year with only a $3 penalty -- that could be spread over two years with a post-June 1 release.

I saw that too. I did the math on it, that adds up to only $21M. It's possible the other $3M is built into incentives somehow, and that's how you get to a total value of $24M as reported.
If that's the case, then Brown's cap hit in 2018 will be $2.75M, not $5.0M as I had estimated.
But I don't wanna mark it down as revised until I understand the structure on the incentives, or whatever else accounts for the rest of the reported $24M total value.
