Any way you look at it though, they still saved more than they spent in the two years vs. the money they paid in dead cap hits--or in this case, choosing to pay the 8.8m all at once in the uncapped year.
I think it was fairly standard business for years 4 and 5 of a five year deal. After year three, they were in the black. Had they been forced to part with him after only two years, it'd have been a different story.
OR one can argue that the cap hit for parting after just 2 years was so prohibitive that BB kept him around for a 3rd year. I'd say he was a bust even earlier.
