Arizona Cardinals to add about $16 million in cap space on June 2nd

The Arizona Cardinals are about to get some cap relief, as the team will get their relief from D.J. Humphries contract this Sunday, as they had designated him as a post-June 1st cut.

We had a primer on that yesterday:

In the NFL’s accounting rules, any move involving dead cap that happens after June 1 is split into two seasons.

Instead of actually waiting until June 2 to make the release official, the NFL allows you to designate the move ahead of time. In March at the start of the league year, you can release that player, then carry their existing cap hit until June 2.
