Wilson is due $40M in his 5th year with the Broncos. If he's only worth $30M at that point and he won't renegotiate the Broncos will release him. There would only be $31.2M in dead money left to be accounted for and $18.4M would have to be accounted for in the 5th year anyway. I can't imagine the Broncos would even bother to designate him as a post June 1st cut. If they did they'd have to carry the $40M salary through the FA period just to delay accounting for the final $12.8M in dead money for 1 year.
