They forgot about the impact of moving a player back into the top 51.

Kory himself saves us $3.5M, but the rule is during the offseason you have to count the top 51 contracts on your roster as your cap number. When you remove a guy from the top 51, someone has to go in his spot. A minimum salary type guy.

So Kory saves us $3.5, but we use $0.5 of it on a min salary player moving into our top 51 to replace him.
