Apparently, he has guaranteed money that hit their cap with his retirement, so the Jags will take a Dead Cap hit unless they force Albert to repay it.
The moment he was traded to Jacksonville, all monetary obligations became theirs and not the Dolphins.

I would think that the dead cap hit would be the Dolphins the minute they traded him. They're the ones that paid the signing bonus. What have the Jags paid him? They can't take a dead cap hit on money that they didn't pay. Did they give Miami cash in the trade for the remaining signing bonus?
And as far as the being retired so no longer obligated to pay his salary, isn't that why the Seahawks let Lynch sign with the Fade? Because they were going to be on the hook for his salary because he was still under contract? And there was talk of Megatron coming back and forcing the Lions to cut or trade him because of the salary cap hit. How is Albert's situation different?
Not saying that you're wrong. Just trying to make sense of it.
