But wouldn't that team take a massive cap hit if they let that player go? The more there is in guaranteed money, the less the cap hit when they do decide to let that player go right? That's the point of doing these kinds of contracts now. If the player doesn't work out, but you gave him a ton of up front guaranteed money, the owner has to pay up, but it doesn't hurt the team as much cap wise.

No the cap hit comes from the guarenteed money

ETA think about what youre saying

The money that is guaranteed = Team has to pay the player that no matter what so cutting him would cause the cap hit

The money that is not guaranteed = Teams can cut without repercussion because the player did not hit the incentive or bonus to earn that part of the contract

Not under the scenario I quoted. They would have 10 million/year counting against the cap for the next 4 years and not even have a player there though.
