Gresham getting cut will save about $2.5 million on the salary cap.

In what has to be one of the worst contracts ever handed out in the Steve Keim era, not because of the player or what they paid him, but the dead money on the contract that made it nearly impossible to release Gresham, as the Cardinals are still eating $5.
