Gage hasn't been cut yet. That's about $11 mil cap savings.
"The good news for the Bucs is that general manager Jason Licht and assistant G.M. Mike Greenberg have decided to swallow their salary cap medicine this year and get well for next year. Saddled with $75 million in dead cap money this season, including $35 million due to Tom Brady, the Bucs were cap-strapped in free agency this year and had to do a lot of bargain shopping, which restricted Licht’s ability to add more talent.
"But Tampa Bay’s cap space goes from being one of the worst this year to one of the best, thanks to the Bucs’ decision to bite the bullet this year. Tampa Bay is slated to have $61,372,644 in cap room next year, which is the 11th most in the NFL."
Spotrac has it as $48M but only 33 players on the roster and no starting QB.

Only $7.6M savings because his 3 void years will kick in. And we don't know what the injury fine print in his contract is.
I'm just going by Spotrac which has $2.166 mil dead money for 2024 for a cap savings of $11.1 mil, zero dead cap for 2025 if released post June 1st. Doesn't say before June 1st. I still think it's zero for 2025 regardless.Gage hasn't been cut yet. That's about $11 mil cap savings.
