For the bonus portions they can file for relief from the league, but I think the player would have to refund the money for it to come off the books.

Yeah the problem is the bonus has already been used by teams, cap-wise. This amount has to be accounted for in the future or else is not a level playing field. The impact the player has on the team moving forward is irrelevant, as they're forfeiting the future payments to account for that.
