Question on "Dead Cap Space"

[Ironshaft]

Carson Wentz 2022 Cap Hit =

$22.000m in 2022 salary (of which $15m is fully guaranteed)
$06.294m in 2022 roster bonus to be paid on the 3rd day of the NFL year
=======
$28.294m cap hit if he is on the roster


The Colts are either paying him $28.3m of cap space to play for us or $15.0m of cap space to go be on someone else's roster. It is that simple.

Of course, the question is, can the Colts find someone else with that extra $13.3m in now free cap space that can give us the same or better level of performance that Carson did in 2021? I have no idea what the answer to that question is.
