Paradis and his contract is already “split” because of voidable years. Even if he stays, 1.8M(of his remaining 5.4M dead cap hit) would come off this year, then the team would still have 3.6M to account for next year. Same if the designate a June 1 or wait until after then to cut him. Only way they would eat all 5.4M next year, is if they trade him before June 1
