The team simply transfers his base salary (in most cases) into a bonus for the player. He more then likely gets to walk away with that money now, versus having to wait until the season (weekly game checks). The player gets more guaranteed money upfront & the team is able to save money on the cap. It's a Win-win.

I was mostly referring to the fact that he helped create some much needed cap space. I should have been more clarifying. I forgot how much you hated me.
Of course he would! More guareenteed $$$. Who would turn that down!?
I apologize for being so stupid.
