Cuts into about half of the cap, would be a mess if that happens. -
His original guarantees include $9M of this year’s salary. The Lions likely have no recourse on signing bonus, but if he’s violated the terms of his contract, maybe there is some wiggle room for that 2nd year salary. There’d basically only be an acceleration of $6M or so remaining for the signing bonus in future years on top of the $12M that they are on the hook for him already this year.
if they cut him, they can always designate him a post June 1 cut and spread some of that hit over this year and next. But could be better to just take the 1 year hit.Comment

Man that sucks. Seemed like an awesome guy but at that hour alcohol and drugs can make a situation worse. I hope he’s innocent but this is a PR nightmare for the LionsF#*K OHIO!!!

The internet is wild right now with this subject.
A serious issue that needs to go through all the proper channels of collecting information. But yeah, Sutton didn’t seem like himself over the last few months. If the Lions have some kind of out, perhaps it’s a win-win situation to part ways for everyone.AAL 2023 - Alim McNeillComment

So... signing bonus is already in his pocket, but for cap purposes is spread out over the contract as I understand it. So the signing bonus isn't guaranteed, it's already paid.
But the guarantees in a NFL contract require you to at least show up. Even showing up like JaMayonaise Russel counts. But Cam cannot show up if he is a fugitive or incarcerated."Yeah, we just... we don't want them to go. So that's our motivation."

His base salary is guaranteed for 2024 already. If they were to cut him they get no relief. I don’t know if there is any out due to violations of the morals clause or whatever the NFL deals have.Comment

It doesn't look good, but something about this story doesn't add up. He's allegedly been on the lam from the police for 10 days, they have the wanted posters up, they have exhausted all avenues to try and contact Sutton but the police didn't call the Lions? The Lions claim they became aware this morning.Comment

My guess is that they were trying to keep it on the down low, bring Sutton in quietly, and possibly bury it all depending on what he told them. Then Sutton went all Richard Kimble, and now they're making noise.Comment

The “Lions” became aware this morning. Somebody who works for them might have been aware already.3,062 carries, 15,269 yards, 5.0 yards/carry, 99 TD
