Yeah, that is how that works, the issue is that they need to field a roster with that cap space too. It's not unreasonable in general but I am not seeing any players that it makes sense to do that with, with the possible exception of Eddie Jackson, but I don't think he is going anywhere.If you do move on from those contracts in 2022 (and if I am wrong on this, someone please correct me), then all of the player money gets pushed to 2022. So if they have to eat it anyway, it may be worth it for a new GM just to "rip the bandaid" off for some of these players, because it then opens up way more flexibility for 2023 and beyond.
Quinn and Mack's contracts are huge but as long as they can stay healthy the contract situation there isn't bad, Quinn's cap hit basically stays the same for the rest of the contract (+1M in '23, '24 is about the same as '22) and Mack's slowly drops, while the salary cap should take another large jump for 2023.
Quinn would have been an easy cut based on last year, but he earned his money this year. But if that changes he can be cut in 2023 for some decent savings. Mack can also be cut in 2023 for good savings if need be. Eddie Jackson, too, for that matter. I think the most reasonable course of action is to see how all three do with the, hopefully, new coaching staff.
