OTC reports if Anderson gets traded it would free up at least 9M in cap savings and would cause 7.5M of dead money if traded pre-june 1st. Details come straight from OTC website

Are you sure about that ?  Here's the OTC web page for 2022:  

OTC

SPOTRAC says the same thing.  Anderson would be 15.6M dead money if cut / traded.  

Or do trades affect the cap differently than him being cut ??

  It’s true. Always has been. That’s not the problem. Finding a team that wants him at 13M for next year is. Much less getting anything more than a set of steak knives in return. Plus the team is still eating at least 7.7M in dead money for not one snap more than they had him for before the extension.

8M of his base salary for 2022 is guaranteed. Which is part of the guaranteed 20.5M he got for the extension. If they could trade him they don’t owe it to him. New team would. Along with his 2.8M roster bonus when he on the other teams opening day roster. Now if he were cut, they would have to pay the 8M and the 7.7M of signing bonus.

Those figures are if he's cut not if he's traded

Perfect.  Thanks for going through the details.
