    Was checking out a website that shows Woodley,Colon, and Foote count almost 11 million in dead money. This counts against the cap yes? And if it does when does it come off? Thanks.

    Colon and Foote are gone after this year, Woodley will count several million against the cap in 2015.

    There were around 23 or 24 releases that resulted in dead money, but those three are the highest. They do indeed count against the 2014 salary cap, and they don't come off the books until the 2014 league year ends. Additionally, Woodley's dead money hit is higher in 2015 at over $8.5 Mil.
