That's if he's cut.

They would gain back the rest of the unearned prorated bonus, which would be $3,166,666 (heh) and any figures he had left to make. His roster/workout bonuses would be classfied as LTBE, so there's another 1.25 mil and from there they would also get a credit for his 5.7 mil base.

They would be getting around a 10 million boost in cap space. He forfeits any guaranteed money left or bonus money he hadn't earned yet if he were to retire.

This was a pretty shitty contract made by Dorsey.

He only forfeits the signing bonus money if the Chiefs actually recover it. Remember, he gets the Bonus the day he signs.

There is an exactly zero percent chance the Chiefs go after that money. He'll keep that and the Chiefs will carry the cap hit.

Yeah, it wasn't a good deal but I think the news had gotten out in team circles about Houston's knee and Hali's agent had Dorsey over a barrel.

That's assuming Hali wouldn't voluntarily repay it.

He's loyal, not stupid.

The guy's given a lot for this game and has left a few bucks on the table here and there. There aren't a ton of guys that earn every penny they make in the NFL but Hali will end up pretty close.

I wouldn't expect it and if he offered I suspect Hunt would decline.

I don't mind guys getting paid what they're worth and love it when that worth matches up with the team's need. Hali's been a hell of a fit in that regard pretty much his entire career. When I look at the ring of honor and realize that they're going to have to shrink names or give short shrift to someone like Hali or DJ because they can't help but put guys like Tony Richardson up there, it just makes me cringe a bit.

There are good players and then there are great Chiefs. Hali's the latter. I wouldn't take his money even if he tried to give it back.
