And VEL, good. with Bennett healthy, our running game will continue to get 7ypc, with Bennett getting between 5 and 6 ypc, as he did the year before he was injured, and he was doing when he returned from injury.
I could be off, but you don't pay retirees or cut players.

The only effect is...

Say Eddie had a 4yr contract with a 10mil signing bonues. The bonues is paid up front but the amount is split over 4 years so it's a cap hit of 2.5mil/yr.

Say after year #2 he retires (assuming the contract wasn't gaurenteed, which NFL contracts aren't) the Broncos would take a cap hit of 5mil on year #3, even though he doesn't play. But then in year #4, there is no cap figure.
