Brandon Lloyd was not designated a June 1 release which means that his dead money hit of $2 million hits the 2013 Patriots cap.
So the team has an option in designating the release. This would indicate to me a reluctance to push cap hits forward. This could imply they're less likely to restructure the Mankins', etc. unless one of the rumored fantasy trades (color me deeply skeptical) occurs with a need for 2013 cap expansion.
