Pretty much the worst thing you can do when dealing with the cap is create dead money.

Name it.
The way Dorsey did it also created $4 million in rollover by drastically reducing in cap hit for last season. That $4 million in roll-over will essentially cover his dead money for this season.
The extension didn't hurt us. At all. His cap hit for the 2015 season was reduced by enough to pay for the dead money created. It was dollar in, dollar out.
The trade was fine. The extension was fine (and really, the upside built into it was enormous). It just didn't work out.
That's football.
