I think a $14MM dead money charge falls under the not particularly easy to move on from category, but YMMV.
You are right in the sense that they have a $15MM base salary they wouldn't have to pay him by moving on, but its going to leave a mark. Given they only saved $3MM in cap space over '16 and '17, I think the contract extension shows Brady is a pretty firm Plan A for '18 and beyond unless he really falls off a cliff.
