Humphries has been a staple at left tackle and doesn’t have a horrible contract, but Josh Jones’ play at left tackle while Humphries was injured was good. It could allow the Cardinals to play Jones and save money this year.
Humphries’ cap hit in 2023 is nearly $17.9 million.
He has an $8 million roster bonus due this month but, if I recall, it is fully guaranteed, so cutting him will not avoid paying him.
They will lose cap space by cutting him.
However, if they trade him, they would save more than $13 million in actual cash due him in the roster bonus and salary. They would save $5.1 million in cap space, although it would cause almost $12.8 million in dead money for his prorated signing bonus last year.
