Saints LB Kiko Alonso tears ACL

If the contract isn't guaranteed for injury, then Alonso has no dead cap - 6.4M saved.

It's brutal, but unless the last year of his contract was guaranteed for injury (and few contracts are), there's no way he's a Saint next year, or on an active squad, given the timing.   Truly horrific timing for him.

Can't cut an injured player I thought? He's gonna make all that money.

In-season, you can't.    Off-season, you can if the contract isn't guaranteed against injury.   Most 2nd/3rd contracts don't have it except in the first couple of years, unless it's a star / premium position.  Doesn't likely apply to Alonso.
