You can't buy out a suspended player, It has to be a mutual contract termination.

Exactly. He seems like exactly the type of player we should target but it also seems like the type of guy Staios and Andlauer wouldn't want.

The one thing I’m sure doesn’t happen is that he gets bought out. They aren’t carrying dead cap for a decade and the cap savings because of the structure of his deal is MINIMAL.
